White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow is confirming that Pres. Trump 'wants to take a look at' buying Greenland, although the semi-autonomous territory of Denmark has said it's not for sale.
President Donald Trump said Sunday the idea of buying Greenland from Denmark has been discussed within his administration because of the strategic benefits for the U.S. and suggested that the semi-autonomous territory is a financial burden to Denmark.
"It's just something we've talked about," Trump told reporters when asked about the idea."Denmark essentially owns it. We're very good allies with Denmark. We've protected Denmark like we protect large portions of the world, so the concept came up." "Strategically it's interesting and we'd be interested, but we'll talk to them a little bit. It's not No. 1 on the burner, I can tell you that," the president said.
