Experts say Donald Trump's Greenland purchase idea remains unfeasible

newsweek.com

President-elect Donald Trump has revived his suggestion to buy Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark. Experts continue to assert that this idea is not feasible, as Greenland has been self-governed since 2009 and is not for sale. Greenland, home to 56,000 residents, has strategic importance due to its location and natural resources. While Trump views ownership as essential for U.S. security, Greenlandic leaders emphasize their desire to strengthen ties with the U.S. without selling their territory. Greenland's Prime Minister, Múte Bourup Egede, firmly stated that "Greenland is ours. We are not for sale." This response reflects a shift from previous views, as Greenland now seeks to enhance its international presence rather than entertain foreign purchase proposals.
