  • Why does Donald Trump want to buy Greenland? - 'We are not for sale and will never be for sale,' Greenland prime minister says

The article from MSN discusses Donald Trump's interest in purchasing Greenland, a large, autonomous Danish territory. Trump's fascination with Greenland stems from its strategic location, potential natural resources, and the geopolitical advantage it could offer the United States. The idea, although initially floated during his presidency, was met with skepticism and humor, with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen calling it "an absurd discussion." Despite the dismissal, Trump's interest highlights his unconventional approach to foreign policy and real estate, viewing Greenland as a potential asset for military bases, resource extraction, and expanding U.S. influence in the Arctic region. The article also touches on the broader implications of such a move, including international law, sovereignty issues, and the reactions from both Greenlandic and Danish officials, who have firmly stated that Greenland is not for sale.
