Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš said he bought a globe to better understand the strategic importance of Greenland, linking the Arctic island to missile trajectories between Russia and the United States. Babiš said a Russian Oreshnik missile could reach the White House in 26 minutes, with its flight path passing over Greenland at the eleventh minute.
The Czech leader said the geography helps explain Donald Trump’s arguments about the security risks posed by Russia and China, suggesting Greenland plays a key role in global defense calculations. His comments come amid renewed debate over Arctic security, missile defense, and Trump’s controversial interest in Greenland.
The remarks highlight growing attention to the strategic importance of the Arctic as tensions rise between major powers over security, trade, and military positioning.
