Trump is working to curtail outside influence in our hemisphere.
Back in November 2025, the Donald J. Trump administration released the new National Security Strategy, and we could understand a little better how the protection of the Western Hemisphere has become central to US efforts.
We read there: “The United States has achieved success in rolling back outside influence in the Western Hemisphere by demonstrating, with specificity, how many hidden costs—in espionage, cybersecurity, debt-traps, and other ways—are embedded in allegedly ‘low cost’ foreign assistance. We should accelerate these efforts, including by utilizing U.S. leverage in finance and technology to induce countries to reject such assistance.”
So, when it comes to the Arctic Island of Greenland, this whole security architecture applies there, too.
We have reported how Greenland Leader Admits US Military Presence on Island Is Part of Negotiations With Washington.
But the security is not limited to establishing a number of air bases and other military assets there.
There’s also the question of curbing the outside influence from major powers.
So, it’s not at all surprising that reports arise today that Trump is demanding a ‘veto’ power over any future Chinese or Russian investments in Greenland.
