Top White House economic adviser says the Trump admin. is still 'looking at' buying Greenland.
"It's an interesting story," Kudlow told host Dana Perino."It's developing. We're looking at it. We don't know."
Kudlow noted that"years ago," then-President Harry Truman sought to purchase the massive island off the Canadian coast. "Denmark owns Greenland. Denmark is an ally," Kudlow added."Greenland is a strategic place up there and they've got a lot of valuable minerals. I don't want to predict an outcome. I just know the president, who knows a thing or two about buying real estate, wants to take a look at a potential Greenland purchase."The island of roughly 56,000 people is rich in mineral resources and houses an American airbase. At least twice previously, in 1867 and 1946, the U.S.
Officials in Greenland strongly indicated there was no opportunity for such a deal to be made. Greenland's Ministry of Foreign Affairsin a statement that the island"is not for sale and cannot be sold, but Greenland is open for trade and cooperation with other countries — including the United States.”
Speaking to NBC News, Anna Kûitse Kúko, 63 and a lifelong resident of Greenland, said she believes islanders take the idea"as a sick joke by a crazy president."
