President Donald Trump’s bid for the island is an old idea without much appeal among modern drillers and miners, analysts say.

In 2019, then-President Donald Trump suggested the United States “buy Greenland” — as a matter of national security. Now in office again, Trump has continued to push for acquisition of the island, illustrated by a recent “horrendous” call with Denmark’s prime minister just last week on the matter.

What the visiting journalists weren’t told—nor were many of the soldiers living at the station, which could house up to 200—was that Camp Century was a cover for a secret Cold War Army project. Unknown even to Greenland’s Danish government,

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi made the suggestion in response to President Donald Trump's "clean out" Gaza proposal.

Even if Greenland were for sale, buying the Artic territory would be complicated. And French President Emmanuel Macron promises to renovate the Louvre, which is falling into disrepair.

Some of Trumps threats to take over Greenland, Canada, and the Panama Canal are based on actual U.S. strategic goals. Others are just idiotic.

The move comes after President Donald Trump voiced his desire to acquire Greenland and refused to rule out using military force.

President Donald Trump's interest in buying Greenland is "not a joke," Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in an interview on Thursday, adding that acquiring Greenland was in U.S. national interest and needs to be solved.

President Trump isn’t the first U.S. politician to be interested in Greenland — not by a long shot.

Faced with increasing pressure from President Donald Trump to hand over the strategically important island of Greenland to the U.S., Denmark has announced plans to beef up its military presence there.

Interest in buying Greenland has "popped up from time to time in American politics," Tom Høyem, Denmark's former minister to Greenland, told ABC News in an interview.
