Trump offered to buy the vast Danish territory during his first term in office – receiving an abrupt refusal – and he revived his push over the weekend when naming his ambassador to Copenhagen for his incoming administration.
Greenland’s Prime Minister Mute Egede quickly sought to quash any chance of a deal. “Greenland is ours. We are not for sale and will never be for sale. We must not lose our long struggle for freedom,” Mute Egede said in a statement.
Greenland, the world’s largest island, is an autonomous Danish territory with its own parliament, about 55,000 inhabitants, and a small pro-independence movement. It relies on Denmark to fund more than half of its public budget.
Trump on Sunday posted that “for purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity.”
Even giving him that much credit is too much
Trump didn’t say anything about buying it. If he is serious (and I hope its his dementia talking) he will invade and claim it in the name of America. He keeps saying Canada needs to be the 51st state too. He just ranting old man screaming at clouds. Elon is in charge pay no mind to what Trump says.
“Invading” is a curious word to use when the US military is already the main military presence on the island.
he can invade whatever his sick little peabrain dreams up. I fervently hope that our military will tell him to get fucked and refuse to do it
