The US Secretary of State has confirmed the US does not plan to buy Greenland from Denmark after former president Donald Trump proposed buying it.
Trump and one of his economic advisors in 2019 confirmed they were discussing the possibility of purchasing Greenland. At the time, the Danish Prime Minister called the suggestion absurd.
The Secretary of State says his visit to Greenland is a signal of Washington’s desire to enhance ties with Greenland and Denmark, and that his visit was not a real estate deal.
