Trump wants to buy Greenland

Donald Trump wants to buy the Greenland. The president of the United States would like to make an offer to Denmark to buy the huge island between the North Atlantic and the Arctic Circle, with its 56 thousand inhabitants.

The reports the Wall Street Journal, according to which some of the councilors would have told the president that it would be a great deal, but others would have advised against it. It is not clear how the United States could acquire territory from a foreign country, but è Trump is likely to talk about it in the upcoming official visit to Denmark, scheduled for early September.

The White House declined to provide any more information. No comment also from the Danish embassy in Washington. Thanks to a treaty between the United States and Denmark, Greenland, which is technically part of North America, is already under American influence: here is the largest US military base. North, Thule Air Baseonly 1.200 kilometers from the Polar Circle.

Ma for Trump it is not enough: his idea would be to buy it, as if it were real estate, to expand his military influence and at the same time go down in history as the American president who extended North the territory of the United States.

In fact, someone had already tried. After the Second World War the president Harry Truman, in '46, had offered Denmark 100 million dollars, but the proposal was not accepted. Trump is confident because someone he "whispered" to Trump that Denmark would be struggling with some financial problem and that the hypothesis of selling Greenland, to which the Copenhagen government pays 591 million dollars in subsidies every year, could solve these problems.
