https://thehill.com/homenews/sunday-talk-shows/457852-kudlow-trump-wants-to-take-a-look-at-buying-greenlandWhite House economic advisor Larry Kudlow confirmed on Sunday that the Trump administration is looking at purchasing Greenland following reports of its interest last week.
Denmark owns Greenland. Denmark is an ally. Greenland is a strategic place. Theyve got a lot of valuable minerals, Kudlow told guest host Dana Perino on "Fox News Sunday."
The president, who knows a thing or two about buying real estate, wants to take a look, he added.
The Wall Street Journal reported last Thursday that President Trump was privately asking aides about the possibility of the U.S. purchasing the Danish territory, which is the largest island in the world and home to some 56,000 people.

(29,238 posts)the orange thing in the white house thinks that the greenland ice sheet will melt... thereby uncovering untold amounts of mineral wealth for open pit mining operations.
make no mistake, under the ice there are riches.
That's why he wants to "buy it".
