Greenland and the Mirror of a New Reality

Published January 25, 2026, 06:15

The article examines Donald Trump's moves during his second term, focusing on his proposals for the Panama Canal and the purchase of Greenland. The author argues that these moves are not merely expansionist tendencies, but part of a new agenda responding to a changing international environment. The case of Greenland is linked to Trump's desire to control the new trade route in the Arctic Circle, exploit the region's resources, and develop anti-missile systems. Trump was particularly concerned about the management of Panamanian ports by CK Hutchinson Holdings, which he considered to be under Chinese influence. The final acquisition of the ports by BlackRock, an American asset management company, is considered a success of American policy. Trump's approach is characterized by a policy of "zero tolerance" towards Asian interests in the Western Hemisphere. In Greenland, Trump sought to promote his agenda on three levels: control of the trade route, exploitation of rare earths, and development of anti-missile systems. Despite the lack of direct Chinese investment, Trump highlighted the Chinese and Russian threat to justify his actions. Overall, the article presents an analysis of Trump's geopolitical moves, interpreting them as part of a broader strategy to counter the growing influence of China and Russia, as well as to secure American interests in strategic regions of the world.
