Abstract
Argues that President Trump’s renewed bid to acquire Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland) cannot be fully explained by narrow security or resource interests, but should be understood as part of a broader project of reasserting US great-power identity and building a sphere of influence in an emerging post-rules-based international order.
