Although President-elect Donald Trump has not yet officially moved to the White House, he is already outlining his foreign relations priorities, which include expanding the country's territory into Greenland, currently part of Denmark's kingdom and a land he has tried to acquire throughout his first term. Trump even refused to commit to not use economic or military force to take control of it on Tuesday. But while the Danish Prime Minister has asserted Greenland is not for sale, a Bloomberg analyst suggests Trump may be able to rent it.
There is no doubt why Greenland has caught the U.S.' attention throughout the years— with the States even making a bid to acquire it from Denmark for $100 million after World War II. The self-ruling territory is roughly as large as Alaska and Texas combined, it contains 7% of the world's freshwater, and its undeveloped oil and gas resources are estimated to be the third-largest in the Arctic.
