Greenland's government tells Trump the island is 'not for sale'
WASHINGTON – Greenland's government told President Donald Trump on Friday that the island was"not for sale" following reports the president entertained the idea of buying the Danish territory.
The Wall Street Journal first reported on Thursday that Trump had floated the idea of buying Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory, though it was unclear if Trump was joking or not, based on other reports. The Associated Press said Trump's interest in Greenland was characterized by "varying degrees of seriousness."
The U.S. currently maintains a large military base – Thule Air Base – in Greenland. It is the U.S. military's northernmost installation, as it is 750 miles north of the Arctic Circle.
