Trump doesn’t, but the people who whisper in his ear do
OK, why do they want it?
To dismantle NATO and generally weaken the west.
It is also a theoretically strategic important location for a future northern route between Europe, Asia, and North America if/when the polar icecaps melt.
Sadly I think we’re gonna see NATO fall apart when article 5 is triggered. Even if another NATO ally attacks a NATO ally, that wouldn’t dissolve it. What will is when the attacked nation enacts the article and no one is willing to help. Especially if the aggressor is the US.
It gives a direct route from the USA through the Arctic to the entire coastline of Northern Europe and Russia, and it places the USA on every side of Canada, surrounding it. So it makes it easier for the USA’s military to reach Europe, Russia and Asia, and easier to seize Canada by force, should Trump decide to follow through on his threats.
Control of the Arctic circle. We expect shipping lanes to open up and new access natural resources. Thanks to climate change.
These motherfuckers think it will still be business as usual with mining, farming, shipping when climate change has melted the North Pole.
The powers that be are eyeing up territory that may become valuable in a warmer planet. I think they have a pretty good idea what’s in store.
More war ahead.

I think they got the subliminal idea from a movie that was about their shrinking dicks.
