President Trump has floated the idea of making Greenland part of the U.S. by buying the island from Denmark. Is the notion a flight of fancy or would it be a smart acquisition?
Last week, the Wall Street Journal reported that President Trump had, on various occasions, floated the idea of the U.S. purchasing Greenland. Trump later confirmed his interest, saying"essentially, it’s a large real estate deal" and jokingly tweeting a doctored image of a Trump-branded building towering over the barren Greenland landscape.
In response to reports of American interest, Greenland's Foreign Ministry said it was"open for business, not for sale." Denmark's prime minister called the idea"absurd."

In response to reports of American interest, Greenland&39;s Foreign Ministry tweeted it was "open for business, not for sale." Denmark&39;s prime minister called the idea "absurd."
