Trump wants Greenland?

The days of empires buying and selling territory, complete with inhabitants has long gone. Someone should tell France.

Perhaps we could sell Northern Ireland to the Republic of Ireland and end the problem of the back stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The US is just as sensitive to security in its own backyard as Russia, remember Cuba not an exact comparison with Ukraine but near enough. At the end of the day little Denmark is not going to disadvantage the US - not that they would want to

Exactly Jane10

Translation of extract from DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation):

Quote: Danish politicians choked on their coffee this morning when they read that Donal Trump has instructed lawyers and advisers to investigate if the USA can buy Greenland.

It's a bad joke was the reaction from the Danes. We have had talks with the USA about security in the Arctic region but to even suggest that Greenland is for sale is peposterous. End quote.

To Trump, everything is for sale.

How can Greenland be for sale?!

No not megalomania in this case, there is no way that the US would want a potential adversary controlling Greenland any more than we would want it. The natural resources are massive as are the territorial waters, China is causing enough problems in the South China Sea we don’t need them in the Atlantic

It's obviously to keep China away as their interest was blocked.

Trump would be the lesser of the two evils.
