Greenland rejects Trump's renewed proposal to buy the territory

latimes.com

Donald Trump has revived his idea of the U.S. purchasing Greenland, a proposal he made in 2019. Greenland's Prime Minister Mute Egede responded firmly, stating that the territory "is not for sale and will never be for sale." Trump's comments came during the announcement of his envoy to Denmark, emphasizing the need for U.S. control over Greenland for national security. This has reignited discussions about the island's strategic importance amid climate change and potential resource extraction. In 2019, Denmark's Prime Minister dismissed Trump's offer as "absurd," leading to a diplomatic spat. The current situation may present ongoing challenges for Denmark as Trump prepares for his second term.
