Denmark responded to Trump’s Greenland proposal, offering to buy the U.S. minus its government.

by

The Danish Defence Ministry announced on Tuesday a massive new defence expenditure centred on Greenland, the Arctic territory rich in minerals and natural resources that Copenhagen lays claim to and which US President-elect Donald Trump covets.

Danish Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen said the defence package would amount to a “double-digit billion amount.” Ten billion Danish kroner is the equivalent of nearly $1.5 billion.

Two Thetis-class patrol boats, two long-range drones and two sled dog teams are to be purchased with the money, which will also support more personnel for Denmark’s Arctic Command, Poulsen told the newspaper Jyllands-Posten.
