Donald Trump has, again, floated the notion that Greenland should be controlled by the United States. Greenland is, in fact, a territory of Denmark which is unlikely to just give it away. It is not clear whether Trump is serious.

Donald Trump hinted he still wants to buy Greenland, a self-ruling territory of Denmark, saying that US ownership and control of the island is an “absolute necessity” for national security.

The president-elect made the remark on the same weekend he threatened to take back the Panama Canal, prompting a rebuke from Panama's president.
