Washington, August 17 (RHC)-- The Wall Street Journal is reporting President Donald Trump has repeatedly asked advisers if it would be possible for the United States to buy Greenland from Denmark.  Trump is said to be interested in Greenland’s abundant natural resources and geopolitical importance. 

The United States already has a major military base in Greenland -- the Thule Air Base.  But the government of Greenland has a message: “Greenland is not for sale.” 

One Danish politician said: “The idea that Denmark should sell 50,000 citizens to the U.S. is completely insane.”  Trump is scheduled to meet with the prime minister of Denmark next month.  One observer noted that t's not known if he will offer to buy all of Denmark's citizens, or just some of them.
