S. President donald trump confirmed he wanted to buy the danish territory but that bid was publicly rejected by denmarks Prime Minister i thought that the Prime Ministers statement that it was a jerk that was that it was absurd idea was that the i thought it was an inappropriate statement was yet to do is say no we wouldnt be addressing. Trying to been scheduled to travel to denmark for bilateral meetings the hard rejection by denmark of the us proposal prompted trump to abruptly cancel his state visit via twitter on wednesday the danish leader responded to the snub this does not change the character of our good relations. And we will of course from denmark continue our dialogue with the u. S.

Like north korea there is a u. S. Strategic interest in greenland the airbase there is part of the u. S. Ballistic missile Early Warning system and is used by the u. S. Air force space command. Also not the 1st u. S. President to try and buy greenland the last time was in 104600 president harry truman and before that in 1967 right after the us completed the purchase of alaska from russia despite all of trumps last minute cancellation of his trip to denmark he says he loves the country and expects to return at another time but not until he says he sees improved respect shown to the United States can really help get aljazeera the white house john robert clemenson is an associate professor at the Royal Danish Defense College and copenhagen and he explains why the u.

Strategic strategically important base in northern greenland thats part of the Missile Defense system but the u. S. Has been a court napping over the past decade it has noticed that russia and china have had have looked at greenland as well and have seen a weakness in the u. S. Airlines system so china has Chinese Companies have been investing in greenland and the fear in washington is that that will give china some leverage over the green agenda government which can be used to undermine the u. S. On the island at the same time russia is currently building a. In the arctic that can be used to to knock out the the us rate us in greenland and thus punching a hole in the u. S. Missile Defense System so theres a good reason for trying to Pay Attention to greenland but the whole idea of actually buying the island is nice to use the word of today in Prime Minister its absurd because greenland isnt denmarks to sell greenland under danish law is considered and independent people with a right to selfdetermination and that means that essentially its up to the greenlanders to decide who they they what which country they want to be part of.
