Drone footage shows colorful coastline of Greenland’s Nuuk as Trump eyeing island

NUUK, GREENLAND - JAN. 13: An aerial view of Nuuk, Greenland’s capital, shows colorful houses lining the coastline and snow-covered hills in the background Tuesday, Jan. 13, as President Donald Trump repeatedly threatens to take control of the island.Greenland, a self-governing territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, has attracted US interest due to its strategic location and vast mineral resources, but Trump’s insistence on acquiring the island – including his refusal to rule out military force to do so – has attracted condemnation worldwide.Trump – who first gained fame as a real estate developer – has described owning Greenland as an "absolute necessity" for US economic security, comparing it to a "large real estate deal."Both Denmark and Greenland have rejected any proposals to sell the territory, reaffirming Danish sovereignty over the island.Meanwhile, some European nations, including the UK, are in discussions to possibly deploy troops to the autonomous Danish territory, in a bid to ease Trump's security fears.(Footage by Lokman Vural Elibol/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)
