This article explores why the United States under Donald Trump renewed its interest in Greenland — not only for strategic defense but also as a symbol of power. A series of static editorial maps form the visual backbone of the story. One map shows Greenland’s location between Russia and North America and explains its importance for missile defense and Arctic shipping lanes. Another highlights the long-standing US military presence and key infrastructure like the Pituffik Space Base and undersea data cables. A third map focuses on mineral deposits such as rare earths and oil fields, pointing to Greenland’s economic potential. The maps rely on reduced design, clear structure and consistent visual language to turn complex geopolitical relationships into accessible visual explanations.
