I don't know if he's serious but other powers are definitely going to try to sabotage this even if Denmark is willing to sell. It is actually a pretty good move though. The seas are warming and within a few decades we'd have an Arctic that is navigable even during winter.
Having bases in Greenland would be a good check against Russia, which would no longer be as restricted navy-wise like it is today (one reason for annexing Crimea is access to a warm sea port). China is also expected to take advantage of an all-season Northwest Passage for shipping to the Americas and the US controlling Greenland would give them the capacity to choke these trade routes if needed.
Topic: Trump wants to buy Greenland - page 3. (Read 613 times)
It was recently that I found out Greenland does not actually belong to the USA. It will be a great achievement if that really happens and I can't doubt the possibility. If Trump and indeed USA is serious about the deal, there are many leverages to use against Denmark and force them to sell. And I really hope that happens.
I still feel some form of regret knowing we once had genuine change at making Canada part of the USA but failed. Canada would have been better off being part of the United States than standing alone. Same with Mexico.
I envisage a scenario and time when Maxico, Canada, and Greenland would become part of the United States of America. Russia and China would have nothing to brag about in terms of land mass.

Without a doubt one of the better funny comments I've seen on here. Major respect for this.
But yeah, we all know this sort of thing has a negative 0 percent chance of actually happening. But it's something to think about, as we haven't seen the legal boundaries presented by a state purchasing land from another state (that already has legal inhabitants, businesses, their own laws, etc) Interesting.
Well, there's zero percent chance because no president has ever thought about it in recent times. Most Canadians sees themselves more as Americans and would vote in any referendum to become the USA.
There is zero percent chance of that happening not because no one thought about it, but because Denmark would never sell it.It is one of the most developed country in the world with with extremely high quality of living( by most lists they are on the top or in a top few) so rest assured they are not shortsighted idiots that would sell something like that.
Also keep in mind that Denmark is in NATO since 1949 and US ally since 1941 when they signed treaty with US and authorized them to defend Greenland against Germany.

I for one think it would be a great idea for similar reasons its good to have Alaska: strategically and resource-wise. Its sounds cold as fuck over there but maybe after a few decades of global warming more of it will seem pretty inhabitable.
This comment made my day and made me laugh so hard

This post was off to a bad start, but really came around in the middle section, and then by the end it reached the status of good post.

Some still feel some form of regret knowing America once had genuine chance at making Canada part of the USA but failed. Canada would have been better off being part of the United States than standing alone. Same with Mexico.
So many people envisages a time when Maxico, Canada, and Greenland would become part of the United States of America. Russia and China would then have nothing to brag about in terms of land mass.

Random information out of left field, but I don't think the White House has commented on it.
Trump is thinking about purchasing Greenland. He's been floating the idea with WH legal counsel, and different aides in the WH to see if this is something he can do. Unknown on if he is really seriousness about this, but it's something that has without a doubt been talked about.
Unknown on why: Past the fact that Greenland has a large amount of natural resources, but I can't see something like this actually coming to fruition. I'd love to see what people think about this.

Whether it is a serious idea or not, i highly doubt that will ever happen.
Then again, it's nothing that hasn't happened before in the past, like when United States bought Alaska from Russian Empire for merely 7.2 million USD back in 1867. It was brilliant move.
But Denmark is serious and developed country (top 10 country by GDP per capita) and they are not as shortsighted as Russians, so no way that they would do that and sell territory with such a potential.
