In response to reports that President Trump has repeatedly inquired about the prospect of the United States buying the world’s largest island, Greenland — an idea raised by at least two other administrations in the past — the government of the autonomous Danish territory of just over 56,000 people offered a succinct statement: “Greenland is not for sale.”
The response was first reported by CNN, which also cites a “local Kulusuk resident” who assured the network that it’s “not gonna happen” and notes that it isn’t the first time that America has eyed buying the massive, militarily strategic island. “They tried to buy us in 1867, during Second World War, and now they are trying again,” he said.
