WASHINGTON — White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow is confirming that President Donald Trump[1] “wants to take a look at” buying Greenland, although the semi-autonomous territory of Denmark[2] has said it’s not for sale.
Kudlow tells “Fox News Sunday” that he won’t predict what might happen, but he calls Greenland - which is Greenland is situated between the Atlantic and Arctic oceans - “a strategic place” with “a lot of valuable minerals.”
The U.S. military has operated for decades from Thule Air Base in Greenland. The northern-most U.S. base is part of the military’s global network of radars and other sensors to provide ballistic missile warning and space surveillance.
Trump[3] is scheduled to visit Denmark[4] in September as part of a previously announced Europe trip.Sign up for Daily Newsletters
