population is Inuit. 88% are Greenlandic Inuit (including Danish-Inuit mixed). The remaining 12% of people are of European descent, mainly Greenland Danes.
75% of the island nation is covered by an ice sheet and the average daily temperature of Nuuk (Greenland's capital and largest city) varies over the seasons from −8 to 7 °C (18 to 45 °F). Hardly a place to set up a golf course or a high-end resort.
The only reason I can think of why he would be interested in Greenland is because there is a ton of unexploited natural resources under all that ice. "Greenland is abundant in minerals. Mining of ruby deposits began in 2007. Other mineral prospects are improving as prices are increasing. These include iron, uranium, aluminium, nickel, platinum, tungsten, titanium, and copper. Despite resumption of several hydrocarbon and mineral exploration activities, it will take several years before hydrocarbon production can materialize. The state oil company Nunaoil was created to help develop the hydrocarbon industry in Greenland. The state company Nunamineral has been launched on the Copenhagen Stock Exchange to raise more capital to increase the production of gold, started in 2007." [Wikipedia]
However, as far as I know, the country is not for sale and whose money would he use to buy it with even if it was? Is he planning to use taxpayer money so that a bunch of fat-cat industrialists can get rich by exploiting the island's natural resources? Is that where we are at now?
