Why Does Trump Want Greenland and Why Is It So Important?

[Ben Graham]

Why does Donald Trump want Greenland and why is it so important?  And did we just witness major corruption for the “Polymarket Greenland” bet?

President Trump is acting as though doctors told him he’s got six months left with the way he’s talking about taking on Colombia, Iran, and Greenland, all at the same time. Amazingly, the markets haven’t reacted.

The United States must be flush with cash thanks to the Venezuelan sweep and that’s why they want to buy Greenland.

Trump’s cabinet is reportedly sending an offer directly to Greenland’s government about an offer to join the United States:

• Reports say it’s apparently very in their favor to entice them to join
• There are only 57,000 people there. It’s possible to pay off each person 100,000 and it would only cost $5.7 Bn.

So why does the US need Greenland?

Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump was blunt about the stakes:

“It’s so strategic. Right now, Greenland is covered with Russian and Chinese ships all over the place. We need Greenland from the standpoint of national security.” – Donald Trump, US President

The White House later confirmed that a “range of options” is under consideration, including potential military action. That escalation triggered panic across Europe, with Danish officials warning that any US annexation would fundamentally kill NATO.

Greenland sits astride the GIUK gap, a critical lynchpin linking the Arctic to the Atlantic, and lies directly along the shortest missile trajectory between Russia and the continental United States.

Beyond geography, Greenland holds vast untapped reserves of rare earth elements and critical minerals essential for EVs, wind turbines, energy storage, and defense systems.

Our readers need to note that all of this geopolitical chaos is driving market instability in the crypto markets and will likely continue until some sort of resolution is found.

Did The “Polymarket Greenland” Bet Become a Scam During All Of This?

Amid all of this, Polymarket might have rugpulled its users. After US forces captured Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro, the platform declared that action didn’t meet its contract’s definition of an “invasion,” leaving more than $10.5 Mn in bets unsettled and users furious as odds collapsed toward 5%.

One mystery trader seemed to anticipate Polymarket’s decision, selling his $30,000 turned $400,000 position that this technically “wasn’t an invasion.”

That’s the thing, anytime the big market makers, oracles, DAOs or whatever get involved, the definition of anything can be twisted, terms can be provisional or redefined, all to the benefit of whoever is whaling it up behind the scenes.

Imagine a bet like this: “He wore a suit.”

Well, what if it was a tuxedo… which is technically not a suit? All the hours you spent analyzing news, geopolitics and weighing possibilities… overruled.

The world is so messed up right now that we would have zero problems believing that America could botch many of these geopolitical situations. And through all that, Polymarket is losing its trust.
