Trump tried to purchase the island from Denmark during his first term in office.
Georgia Representative Mike Collins, a staunch ally of President-elect Donald Trump, has appeared to float the idea of the United States once again trying to purchase Greenland.On Thursday, Collins posted an image on X of Trump's winning 2024 Electoral College map with the addition of Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark. The island was colored in red, appearing to suggest it would vote Republican if admitted to the union.
Trump said such a move would be a 'large real estate deal,' with The Wall Street Journal reporting he wanted access to Greenland's natural resources and a 'legacy akin to President Dwight Eisenhower's admission of Alaska into the U.S. as a state.' However, the suggestion was shot down by Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, who called it 'absurd,' adding, 'Greenland is not for sale. That's where the conversation ends.
