Trump wants Greenland – level 1

22-01-2025 07:00

Greenland is looking at what the US is doing. President Trump wants to buy Greenland. He thinks it will help keep America safe.

The people in Greenland do not like the idea. Greenland is part of Denmark. Greenland has many useful things, like fish and minerals. Fishing is very important. Most people have jobs with the government. Denmark gives Greenland money every year to help.

Some people in Greenland want to leave Denmark and live on their own. But Denmark says it will not sell Greenland. If Greenland becomes free, it may have problems.

Difficult words: useful (helpful), government (leaders of a country or place).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What are some of the reasons why President Trump wants to buy Greenland and how do the people of Greenland feel about this idea?
