That was the message from Greenland’s government Friday after news leaked that President Donald Trump had expressed interest in purchasing the island, which is an autonomous territory held by Denmark. .
A few decades later, the otter population was decimated, and the settlers made attempts to diversify the economy. But Russia had little use for the land, and it was seen as hard to defend from encroachment. Plus, Gibson wrote, after being humiliated by France and Britain in the Crimean War, czar Alexander II was more interested in protecting his empire than expanding it.
“We may make a treaty with Russia, but we cannot make a treaty with the North Wind or the Snow King,” the New York Tribune teased. Alaska was largely ignored until 1896, when gold was found and more than 100,000 settlers rushed in to claim it. It became the 49th state in 1959.

Trust the NP to spew such insanity. And Trump.
Best President ever knows value!
See what happens in October, he might get a helluva good deal on Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Sure, if they buy Greenland he'll a legit reason to explore the Arctic. To build a path from Alaska to Greenland.
Maybe you should rename your paper The National Past...the world has changed since Alaska was bought for a few tokens. Mind you, journalistic integrity sometimes appear to still be fairly cheap...
Greenland under Trump's control would become Wasteland.
If 🇺🇸 buys 🇬🇱 it will then encircle 🇨🇦 and will be only a matter of time before 🇨🇦 is bought too. Might be better than living under the tyranny of Trudeau.
Trump is different...but I like his thoughts on this matter... Clever consideration to the politics of possibilities
If America buy Greendland it is great & high quality development of the Greendland & the industrial world
realDonaldTrump please buy Canada and kick the idiot JustinTrudeau out! Thank you. GreenlandPurchase CanadaPurchase TrudeauMustGo

Well this isn't 1867, it's 2019 and trump is an idiot.
hope he freezes his nuts and bone off up there.

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.
