Description
President Trump has stated that his Administration intends to purchase the Danish dependency Greenland. The US already has almost carte blanche to establish any military facilities in Greenland under the terms of a 1951 treaty. 3 times the size of Texas and the largest island in the world, Greenland's population is 57,000. NATO of which Denmark is a member, is siding with Denmark in opposing any forced annexation. The President plans to impose a 10% tariff on several NATO members who landed a small (less than 50 people) military delegation in Nuuk, the Greenlandic capital over the past weekend.
