Greenland is ‘hurting Denmark very badly’: Trump to move ahead with sales pitch

President Donald Trump confirmed Sunday that he has asked his administration to explore the possibility of buying Greenland, opining that “essentially, it’s a large real estate deal.”

Trump is scheduled to visit Denmark in two weeks, although he said Sunday that his visit is not related to his interest in Greenland.In the days since news broke of Trump’s desire to buy Greenland, the idea has been ridiculed by politicians in Denmark, and Greenland’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Friday that the island is not for sale.

Trump said Sunday that owning Greenland is “hurting Denmark very badly” and that “they carry it at a great loss,” although he did not immediately provide evidence to back up those claims. He called Trump’s idea “a very interesting proposal” and said the Senate Armed Services Committee, on which Manchin sits, should be receiving a secure briefing about it in the near future if the plan “has any merit to it.”

Because the Danish government has treated its 50,000 or so indigenous Greenland residents so well. But fully in line with the USA's position of open Arctic waters because of their desire to exploit Arctic resources from melting ice and glaciers. kuku27 Trump said about buying Greenland, just to watch responses and reactions.Who is selling and who is is plain humor
