**US President Trump Wants to Buy Greenland**
US President Donald Trump said he wants to buy the country of Greenland. In an interview with NBC News, he stated that “We’ll get Greenland. Yeah, 100%.”
This comes after a visit by US Vice President JD Vance to Greenland. Vance criticized the way Denmark, the country that owns Greenland, is taking care of it.
**What Trump Wants**
Trump said that he wants to make Greenland part of the United States. He also mentioned that a military takeover of Greenland is not off the table.
When asked what message buying Greenland would send to Russia, which has been occupying parts of Ukraine since 2014, Trump replied that he doesn’t think about it and that “Greenland’s a very separate subject”.
**Response from Denmark**
The Prime Minister of Denmark, Mette Frederiksen, responded to Vance’s comments by saying they were not accurate.
Frederiksen also said that Denmark is ready to cooperate with the US, but only if it follows international rules. She added that increasing security in the Arctic region must be a priority.
**US Military Presence**
The US already has military bases in Greenland. Trump wants to expand this presence by buying icebreaker vessels from Finland.
**Russia’s Response**
Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Trump is serious about his plans for Greenland and that there are historical roots to it.
