Danish officials and residents are raising eyebrows (and a few laughs) after former U.S. President Donald Trump reportedly reignited talk of purchasing Greenland this week. The icy island—home to just 56,000 people—has found itself thrust back into the geopolitical spotlight .
Trump first floated the idea of buying Greenland in 2019, calling it a 'large real estate deal.' While the U.S. already operates a military base there, the proposal was swiftly rejected by Denmark, with then-Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen calling it 'absurd.'
Fast-forward to 2024: New remarks attributed to Trump during a private meeting have sparked fresh debates. Social media in Denmark is buzzing with memes (remember Sharknado? Imagine Glaciergate!), while political analysts wonder if this signals shifting U.S. priorities in the Arctic.
'Greenland isn’t for sale—it’s a living homeland, not a Monopoly board,' said Copenhagen University student Lars Jensen, echoing widespread sentiment. Meanwhile, Danish diplomats stress cross-Atlantic cooperation but maintain firm boundaries: 'Our partnership thrives on mutual respect, not transactional whims.'
As climate change reshapes the Arctic, Greenland’s strategic importance grows. But for now, Denmark’s message is clear: This ice isn’t nice… at least not for sale.
