Former U.S. President Donald Trump could reprise his attempt to buy Greenland from Denmark if elected to the White House for a second term, a prominent international relations expert told Newsweek, though 'he would only do so if he felt there was a chance of success.'In August 2019, then-President Trump confirmed media reports that he was interested in purchasing Greenland, a Danish autonomous territory over three times the size of Texas, with a population of around 56,000 people.
