Trump is still trying to buy Greenland, and it's awkward
Remember when everyone thought the whole buying Greenland thing was just a weird fever dream joke? Well, turns out it is a very real, very stubborn obsession.
A new report by Ben Taub in The New Yorker reveals that the dream of planting an American flag on that giant sheet of ice is still very much alive. It wasn't just a random tweet from a few years ago; it is an ongoing, quiet campaign.
The Danes and the Greenlanders thought it was a joke at first, but the relentless backchannel pressure from American officials has completely wrecked trust with Nordic allies. Imagine a neighbor constantly knocking on your door asking to buy your backyard, and when you say no, they just start measuring your fence anyway.
Buying a massive, self-governing country from an ally isn't like buying a golf course, no matter how much someone wants to build a hotel there.
