DONALD Trump wants to buy Greenland and has asked his aides to look into the idea, reports claim.

It would not be the first time an American leader had tried to buy the world's largest island, which is part of the Kingdom of Denmark. Trump’s apparent plans have been revealed ahead of his trip to Denmark early next month, which is unrelated to the plans to purchase.The US has long seen Greenland as strategically important and established a radar base at Thule at the start of the Cold War.

Experts have suggested the US may want to buy Greenland so they could install anti-Russian military installations.Geographically, Greenland is classified under North America as it lies on the North American tectonic plate.But politically, the country is recognised as part of Europe because it is considered to be a part of the Kingdom of Denmark.While its government decides on domestic matters - foreign and security policy is handled by Copenhagen.
