‘Make America Go Away’

The ‘Make America Go Away’ went viral just ahead of US Vice President JD Vance and his wife Usha Vance’s visit to Greenland. They are being seen as a clear response to Trump’s autocratic desire to annex the autonomous territory and claim it as an American territory.

Trump’s Greenland dreams

This is despite of leaders in Greenland and Denmark rejecting Trump’s plans.

Greenland, a self-governing Danish territory pursuing independence from Copenhagen, has vast untapped mineral and oil reserves, despite bans on oil and uranium exploration. The territory is also strategically located between North America and Europe at a time of rising US, Chinese and Russian interest in the Arctic, where sea lanes have opened up due to climate change.
