Now, Donald Trump again wants Greenland.
The president-elect is renewing calls he made during his first term for the U.S. to buy Greenland, the ice-covered semi-autonomous Danish territory.
That’s added to the list of allied countries he’s picking fights with, even before taking office on Jan. 20.
Greenland insists it’s not for sale and Trump’s initial calls to purchase it in 2019 came to nothing.
But his latest suggestion comes after the president-elect suggested the U.S. could retake control of the Panama Canal and that Canadians wanted their county to become the 51st U.S. state.
