Why is Donald Trump so fixated with Greenland?

為什麼 Donald Trump 對格陵蘭如此執著？

情態助動詞 B1

And why are people worried that that fixation might see the dismantling of NATO?

為什麼大家會擔心這種執著可能會導致北大西洋公約組織的瓦解？

Greenland is the largest non continental island in the world, but

格陵蘭是世界上最大的非大陸島嶼，但

it's home to only around 56,000 people, most of them the indigenous Inuit population.

這裡只有大約五萬六千人居住，其中大部分是原住民因紐特人。

It's a semi autonomous territory of Denmark.

So why is it in the eyesight of one of the most powerful men in the world?

那麼，為什麼它會進入一位世界上最有權勢的人的視野呢？

The short answer is military strategy and, of course, money.

簡單的答案是軍事戰略，當然還有金錢。

First of all, of course, it's close to Russia, but

首先，當然是因為它靠近俄羅斯，但

it's also on a key maritime route to the North Atlantic.

它也位於通往北大西洋的關鍵海上航線上。

It sits astride what's known as the Greenland Iceland, UK Gap.

它橫跨了所謂的格陵蘭冰島英國通道。

And so from Greenland, the US Is able to monitor, for example, movements of Russian submarines, or maybe even in the future, Chinese submarines through to the North Atlantic.

所以從格陵蘭，美國能夠監控，例如，俄羅斯潛艦，或者未來，中國潛艦進入北大西洋的動態。

It's also home to one of the most strategic US bases.

它也是一個最重要的美國戰略基地所在地。

The Bodefique Space base is critically important to the US because of its positioning just 1000 miles from the North Pole.

博德菲斯空軍基地對美國至關重要，因為它就位於距離北極僅 1000 英里的戰略位置。

It allows unparalleled missile warning and also space surveillance capabilities.

這提供了無與倫比的飛彈預警和太空監控能力。

This is because of the understanding that if Russia were to fire an intercontinental ballistic missile at the US it would probably use the polar regions.

這是因為人們瞭解到，如果俄羅斯要發射洲際彈道飛彈攻擊美國，它很可能會利用極地區域。

Greenland is fast becoming the center of a superpower contest over the Arctic.

格陵蘭正迅速成為超級大國在北極圈爭奪的中心。

But it's not just the military significance of Greenland that has got Donald Trump interested.

但是，讓 Donald Trump 感興趣的，不只是格陵蘭的軍事戰略意義。

Greenland has vast untapped deposits of rare earth minerals that are really important for making things like smartphones, electric vehicles, and

格陵蘭蘊藏著大量未開發的稀土礦物，這些礦物對於製造智慧型手機、電動車等產品至關重要，

That market right now is dominated by China, when nearly 60% of rare earth minerals are mined.

目前這個市場由中國主導，中國開採了將近 60% 的稀土礦物。

Donald Trump obviously would like to change that with Greenland, but

Donald Trump 顯然想藉由格陵蘭改變這個局面，但

with this increasingly hostile language, he's putting himself directly against NATO partner Denmark and also his natural allies in Europe.

隨著他日益敵對的言論，他將自己置於北大西洋公約組織的夥伴丹麥以及歐洲的盟友對立面。

European leaders, including our own, have issued increasingly strong statements warding Donald Trump off from a takeover of Greenland.

包括我們在內的歐洲領導人，已發布越來越強烈的聲明，警告 Donald Trump 不要企圖併吞格陵蘭。

That's become increasingly concerning with unilateral action taken in places like Venezuela.

隨著在委內瑞拉等地採取的單方面行動，這變得越來越令人擔憂。

He's previously spoken about buying Greenland, and now he's talking about having it.

他過去曾談論購買格陵蘭，現在則談論擁有它。

The US argues that as the most powerful member of NATO, they should have control over this massive strategic asset.

美國認為，作為北大西洋公約組織最強大的成員，他們應該掌控這項龐大的戰略資產。

The question is, what would be the impact of that?

Certainly, going up against Denmark could see the total breakdown of NATO partnerships.

當然，跟丹麥對抗可能會導致北大西洋公約組織夥伴關係的徹底瓦解。
