They are not outsourcing it to China.  We put a stop to that terrible idea.  Greenland has mining agreements with the US and the EU.

Why are you responding to a post that was directly posted as a reply to someone else? Strange.

You're just casting your rod at this point in the hopes to catch a meaningless argument.  My point is simple.  If the US  purchased Greenland it would be a monumental achievement that would benefit Americans.  See.  Simple.   

I'll repeat. It's not going to happen but if it did it would be monumental

 

No. It depends upon the price.

What is the price where it wouldn't be a good deal?

I would think an arrangement could be made where we have access to the benefits of Greenland for a lease arrangement.  Make that a 500 year lease.   That should cover up until Armeggedon at least I would think, if the USA is still around.   Or the great nuclear waste predicted in Mad Max and  Wall-e.

We need only 3 or 4 years.  Just ask Al Gore and Greta Thuneberg.

So it is therefore is not worth thinking about, talking about, or investigating.  

Yes you are a wealth of practical experience.

It's been 100% clarified - Greenland is not for sale at any price. It is simply not for sale.

Only a certain type of putrid a**hole  thinks it is OK to forcibly take territory from other sovereign nations. We've been watching Putin attempt this for many years now.

We appear to have a president-elect who isn't opposed to the idea.

Are you also one of those putrid a**holes?

[headshuck]

Everybody has a price. Never has a President suggested use of force.

Grok -

Greenland has never been sold in the sense of a formal transaction where sovereignty was transferred for payment. However, there have been several historical attempts by the United States to purchase Greenland from Denmark:

- **1867**: William H. Seward, then U.S. Secretary of State, considered buying Greenland alongside Iceland but did not pursue it after the Alaska purchase met with significant criticism.

- **1910**: There were informal discussions, but no formal offer was made.

- **1946**: Under President Harry Truman's administration, the U.S. offered Denmark $100 million in gold for Greenland. This offer was made secretly but was rejected by Denmark. This attempt was only widely revealed in 1991 when declassified documents were discovered.[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_the_United_States_to_purchase_Greenland)[](https://apnews.com/article/9d4a8021c3650800fdf6dd5903f68972)

- **2019**: President Donald Trump publicly expressed interest in buying Greenland from Denmark, suggesting it was "essentially a large real estate deal." This idea was met with rejection from both Greenland and Denmark, with the Danish Prime Minister calling it "absurd."[](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/08/17/why-denmark-wont-sell-off-greenland/)[](https://www.npr.org/2025/01/07/nx-s1-5251168/trump-greenland)

- **2024**: Following Trump's re-election, he again mentioned the idea of U.S. ownership and control over Greenland for national security reasons, but there has been no indication of Greenland or Denmark agreeing to such a sale.[](https://visitgreenland.com/american-interest-in-greenland/)[](https://www.forbes.com/sites/maryroeloffs/2025/01/07/heres-when-the-us-acquired-its-territories-and-how-much-they-cost-as-trump-renews-calls-to-take-over-greenland/)

Despite these attempts, Greenland remains an autonomous country within the Kingdom of Denmark, and its political status has evolved over time toward greater self-governance, though not full independence. The sentiment from Greenlandic leaders has consistently been that Greenland is not for sale and belongs to its people.[](https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/greenland-is-not-sale-its-leader-says-response-trump-2024-12-23/)[](

)

Therefore, while there have been proposals and discussions about selling Greenland, no transaction has ever come to fruition where Greenland was sold to another entity.

The best part about this may be that if this was Biden's idea (lol), the RV would think it was fantastic.

Hey Dumb Dumb, you're the one who said it depended on the price, I asked what that was, and you say you don't know, so your whole argument is once again completely worthless and meaningless.  Thanks again for not contributing anything and for posting some of the worse things on here.

Ha!

It's logic. Very simple. There's a fair market value or range for Greenland, just like any place, IF it were for sale. The fair value or range depends upon several factors and is complicated, especially when u consider the skyrocketing inflation that diaper Don has in store for us. 

If you think I'm supposed to know that fair value without an extraordinary amount of effort and research, you are, quite simply, an idiot of the highest degree. 

There are probably some figures online but you can look that up as easily as I can so go ahead.

If Trump buys Greenland will the red viking move back?  

[headshuck]

Pope Fetterman will make that call.

Greenland isn't for sale or open for any other acquisition.  Sure, trump could launch a hostile takeover which probably would violate any number of treaties.

Do people ever buy real estate that "isn't for sale" or is this the first such attempt?  

[mspart]

The Primer minister of Greenland is ready to discuss terms with Trump.

Not saying there will be a sale, but there will be an understanding.   Probably access to stuff we don't already have access to.   Probably on a lease type situation like I discussed earlier.
