In response to Trump's remarks, Greenland's Prime Minister Mute Egede firmly stated, "we are not for sale," as the Danish government announced the funding of two extra dog sleds, among other defense i

Denmark announced a major new package to boost the security of Greenland in a move the Danish defense minister called “ironic” because it came just two days after President-elect Trump

Since his first term, President-elect Donald Trump has insisted that the United States should purchase Greenland - to the bewilderment of aides asked to investigate such a possibility, and despite repeated denials by top officials in Greenland and Denmark, of which the island is an autonomous territory, that it would ever be for sale at any price.

During a Sunday rally in Arizona, Trump said that his administration would seek to regain control of the Panama Canal, wrongly claiming that the U.S. had “given” the canal to Panama, despite the fact that Panama’s control over the canal had been negotiated in a 50-year-old treaty.

President-elect Donald Trump shared his renewed interest Sunday in the U.S. controlling the autonomous territory of Greenland, which is owned by Denmark.

"It is ironic that it coincides with the announcement from the United States," the Danish defense minister said.

Trump renews interest in U.S. control over Greenland, but the Prime Minister rejects the idea, saying the island is not for sale.

President-elect Trump indicated he wants Greenland under U.S. control as he named PayPal co-founder Ken Howery as his pick for United States ambassador to Denmark on Sunday. The latest: Greenland Prime Minister Múte Egede made clear on Monday that the autonomous territory that's part of its kingdom of Denmark was not for sale.
