President Donald Trump has on multiple occasions brought up buying Greenland from the Danish government and the White House counsel's office has looked into the possibility, two sources told CNN on Thursday.
Trump's interest in buying Greenland was first reported on Thursday by The Wall Street Journal. The Journal reported that people familiar with the deliberations said the President has raised the issue during meetings and dinners, asking aides and listening seriously about the possibility and advantages of owning Greenland. He also asked his White House counsel to research the matter, according to two of the people.
Two of the people also told the Journal that Trump's aides were divided on the issue, with some praising it as solid economic strategy and others dismissing it as a passing fancy.

(25,170 posts)He didn't come up with this on his own. Who gave him the idea? How is he thinking he could monetize this for himself?
Is he thinking Trump Tower Greenland?

If it was someone just making a joke to him in conversation who's about to have a humiliated and enraged Trump turning on him... Gee, too bad.
