Denmark says it\u2019s not for sale and people on the island seem opposed to being owned by the United States.<\/b>
\nUS President Donald Trump has revived his ambition to take control of Greenland, whether by buying it or through military action, arguing that it would be in the interests of his nation\u2019s security.
Greenland is a semi-autonomous territory of US Nato ally Denmark and the idea of buying it was widely dismissed as absurd when Trump first suggested it in 2019.
