SUMMARY

Greenland's striking Arctic landscapes, featuring vast icebergs and rugged terrain, have drawn increasing attention due to its rich mineral resources and strategic location. Just months after President Donald Trump first raised the possibility of U.S. control over Greenland during his initial term, several prominent billionaires began investing in the island's assets.

Ronald Lauder, heir to the Estée Lauder fortune, is credited with sparking Trump's interest, according to former national security adviser John Bolton. Lauder is a longtime associate of Trump from their Wharton days and a major conservative donor, allegedly he suggested the U.S. acquire Greenland in late 2018.
