Video: Why Does Donald Trump Want To 'BUY' Greenland?

US President Trump is purportedly serious about acquiring Greenland, according to Secretary of State Marco Rubio's meeting with Danish authorities. Although Denmark insists that Greenland is "not for sale," the island's huge mineral wealth—estimated in the trillions—and strategic Arctic significance have piqued US attention. There have been prior attempts to purchase the property. Following Secretary of State Marco Rubio's confirmation this week that he will meet with Danish authorities as early as next week, the prospect of the United States purchasing Greenland—a region that Denmark has ruled since the 1700s—has drawn more attention.
