Try again. The U.S. has been trying to buy Greenland for decades. It’s a strategic local and mineral rich.

We have not attempted to buy it since 1946 when Denmark turned down an offer from Harry Truman to purchase it for $100 million in gold. If they wouldn't sell it then, why would they sell it now? Trump is just trying to distract people from the down turn in the economy.

That was an official offer, yes. What I said stands and if you do some research you'll come across the numerous times we've made offers, attempted to lease, buyout debt, etc. We've had some pretty liberal Treaties with them over the years. Greenland is not a new thing to the U.S. The military has been using it for quite some time. It is strategic for cargo movement, missile warning, and keeping an eye on the Artic and North Atlantic. High chance that if you were military, you've landed here for fuel or weather hold before heading to Shannon, Ireland and then final destination in Europe. It's weird that some folks are trying to slam the current POTUS for any talk about Greenland like it is some new scheme.
