Greenland Issue raised questions about 67 overseas territories

Trump will get Greenland from Denmark or not but it unfolded many unheard questions. Interesting results of Greenland Issue are coming in media that need UN attention. Ten countries have 67 maritime territories outside their geographical boundaries. This has raised questions about the sovereignty of these territories, especially after the UK's conditional withdrawal from a maritime territory in the Indian Ocean and the US's attempt to acquire Greenland from Denmark. According to Al Jazeera, the US and UK have 14 such territories each, France has 13, Australia has 7, the Netherlands has 6, Norway has 5, and New Zealand has 4, while Denmark and China have 2 each. These are seen as remnants of colonialism, and there's now a debate about their status under the UN Charter

One can easily understand why the fractured Europe is united against Greenland issue.
