Trump wants to buy Greenland and develop her oil and mineral resources, according toan article in Live Science.
From the article:
Why does Trump want the United States to buy the world's biggest island? The reason, in large part, is likely that Greenland is rich in natural resources, including iron ore, lead, zinc, diamonds, gold, rare-earth elements, uranium and oil, according to the Brookings Institution, a nonprofit public-policy organization in Washington, D.C.
Something I didn't know; American President had triedbu to buy the giant island before:
Denmark isn't likely to sell the last piece of her colonial empire.
So what would America get out of it? Well, we'd get a major chunk of land in the extreme north Atlantic and the Arctic, for starters. We operate a number of bases there, such as Thule, and it gives us a lot of protection from missile launches from Russia. The Russians have been expanding into the Arctic in violation of international law, and the Chinese have made noises about doing likewise. it makes sense for us to beef up our presence there. And we can develop the islands, unlike Denmark.
It would just depend on the price. How much would Denmark be willing to let them go for? Maybe we can use Greenland to house all of the illegal immigrants invading American soil? Just a thought.
