Summary
Trump has expressed interest in the United States purchasing Greenland, with reports suggesting a price tag of around $700 billion. The idea has been met with skepticism and has reportedly slowed Greenland's own economic development plans.
European countries are forming a united front in response to Trump's statements, and some analysis suggests Greenland and Europe might have to offer concessions to address his concerns.
