Fact Check Reveals Different Story Behind Territorial Claims

US President Donald Trump has claimed that the United States has secured control of both Greenland and Venezuela, describing the purported acquisitions as the ‘greatest real estate deal in history’. However, neither territory has been transferred to US sovereignty, with Denmark maintaining control over Greenland and Venezuela remaining an independent country. The claims were made during a rally in Georgia, and they have been met with scrutiny and fact-checking, as reported by Mathrubhumi English.
