  Pedersen, Louise Rasmussen and Stine Jacobsen COPENHAGEN (Reuters) -U.S. President-elect Donald Trump says he wants to make Greenland a part of the United States and does not rule out using military or economic power to get Denmark to hand it over.

The article from MSN discusses former U.S. President Donald Trump's interest in purchasing Greenland, an autonomous country within the Kingdom of Denmark. Trump's interest was first noted in 2019 when he suggested buying Greenland due to its strategic location, natural resources, and potential for military bases. Greenland, however, is not for sale, as both Greenlandic and Danish officials have made clear. The idea was met with a mix of amusement and irritation in Denmark, with Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen calling it "an absurd discussion." Greenland's importance stems from its vast ice sheet, which could impact global sea levels if it melts, its mineral resources, and its strategic position for Arctic routes. Despite Trump's interest, the likelihood of Greenland being sold remains extremely low due to its political status, the will of its people, and international norms against such transactions.
