Greenland has likely received more international news attention in the past 90 days than in the previous 90 years. President Trump has been explicit: he wants America to control Greenland, predicting untold riches for the local population. On March 4, the president directly addressed the people of Greenland during a joint session of Congress.

“We will make you rich, and together, we will take Greenland to heights like you have never thought possible before,” Mr. Trump declared.
