Really?
President Trump spoke out Sunday on reports his administration has been looking into buying Greenland.
Trump addressed the rumors with reporters outside Marine One after he'd landed in Morristown, N.J., saying Denmark has been losing money by keeping Greenland under its control.
"Essentially it’s a large real estate deal. A lot of things can be done. It’s hurting Denmark very badly because they're losing almost $700 million a year carrying it," he said. "So, they carry it at great loss, and strategically for the United States, it would be nice. And, we're a big ally of Denmark and we help Denmark, and we protect Denmark."
Trump said he may be visiting Greenland in the near future, but claimed the issue was not a top priority for the administration.

I think it would be a solid deal. The US should position itself to control as much of the Artic as possible.
Offer 50 bucks for Nunavut too.

What if the people living there want to remain Danes? We already have thule airforce base. I don't think they want us to abandon it.

Would be a good place for the caravan's of asylum seekers from south of our border. Heck with building a wall to keep them out, just buy them a place to set up shop.

Am I the only one wondering what's available to trap in Greenland? mm Don’t know about trapping but a few years ago you could make decent money shooting seals to thin them out, you would shoot them and then turn in the lower jaw for a bounty
