Trump confirmed to reporters on Sunday that he had recently discussed the possibility, though he said such a move was not an immediate priority.“The concept came up and … strategically it’s interesting,” Trump told reporters from the tarmac in Morristown, N.J., as he prepared to board Air Force One.Trump is due to visit Copenhagen early next month, when the Arctic will be on the agenda in meetings with Frederiksen and Prime Minister Kim Kielsen of Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory.
“I don’t want to predict an outcome. I’m just saying the president, who knows a thing or two about buying real estate, wants to take a look at a Greenland purchase,” Kudlow told Fox News. “And Denmark owns Greenland, Denmark is an ally, Greenland is a strategic place, up there. And they’ve got a lot of valuable minerals,” Kudlow added.A defence treaty between Denmark and the United States dating back to 1951 gives the U.S. military rights over the Thule Air Base in northern Greenland.
It’s only absurd if you’re offended, which says more about the Danish PM than Trump.
Shocking. Said No One. Ever
Sell it to Canada. It's pretty much contiguous anyway. And it will make up for the US owning the extension of the Canadian land mass they call Alaska!
Olay globe and mail. No one cares let’s report on CANADIAN news now.

Data from thousands of monitoring stations says July was the world’s hottest month since records beganThe month brought extreme heat to Europe, and massive wildfires to the Arctic, including Alaska, Siberia and even Greenland or at least since '34... well yeah cities are expanding, more roads, more tarred roof tops, less trees, less shade, more concrete, steel and glass. 'Why they aren't out planting billions of trees?', is kind of like asking the mob 'why are you squirting accelerant on these structural beams?' Uh huh, there were clearly no monitoring stations in western Canada - a huge expanse of cool wet summer. Not buying the BS any more.
