Greenland leader again rejects Trump buying idea

REYKJAVIK, Iceland -- Greenland has again stolen the limelight when its premier reiterated that the world's largest island is "not for sale" after U.S. President Donald Trump floated the idea of buying the semi-autonomous Danish territory in the Arctic.

At a meeting Tuesday in Iceland of the Nordic government leaders, Greenland Premier Kim Kielsen told The Associated Press that Trump's idea "is not something to joke about." Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has called Trump's musing "an absurd discussion." The meeting in Iceland ended with the signature of a text on climate change involving both the public and private sectors. German Chancellor Angela Merkel later joined the event.

Trump, who is set to visit Denmark early next month, had added that buying Greenland is not a priority of his administration.

CTVNationalNews Other US Presidents have mused and suggested / asked about purchasing Greenland LONG before President Trump came along. Yes, you biased joke-of-a-fake-news organization, it is 'President' Trump. Show some respect.

Trump buying Greenland, would put him in good position to have more access to Arctic minerals.

CTVNationalNews Awe 😢😢😢😢😢

Funny though.

Waaaaaaaaahhhh😫😫

Build that wall!

Probably the best thing for Greenland...public union's would have bankrupted it long before any glaciers had time to melt.

Hmm almost like throughout history people have bought and traded land...

This is not a 'Trump' thing although his Tower Troll was Hilarious - Buying Greenland and the costs associated with the Island have been talked about for 20 yrs - ie Russia

U.S. President Trump does not want to do business with China’s HuaweiMeanwhile, Apple made a ‘very compelling argument’ that it will take a hit from U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports Smart Canada has two options: 1) Follow Trumps lead, denounce China, deny Huawei our business and seek new trade agreements. 2) Release Meng Wanhzou, apologize to the Chinese and turn our back on democracy in Hong Kong. I really don't think there's a third option, is there? That’s the US, in Canada...Bell and Telus will or are already doing so?
