Trump Falsely Claims US Acquired Greenland and Venezuela at Georgia Rally
At a Georgia rally, US President Donald Trump claimed the United States had acquired Greenland and Venezuela, calling it the "greatest real estate deal in history." He asserted Denmark transferred Greenland to the US and boasted of US dominance over Venezuela's oil reserves. However, neither territory has been transferred to US sovereignty. A recent US-Denmark Memorandum of Understanding enhances maritime cooperation but explicitly excludes Greenland, which remains under Danish sovereignty with expanded US military rights.
