Drudge Report links to a Wall Street Journal article which reports rumors President Trump is considering purchasing Greenland from Denmark, which currently owns it. The U.S. already has an Air Force base at Thule, Greenland.
It is the world's largest island, if you consider Australia a continent. Home to perhaps 50,000 largely self-governing hardy souls, it also contains a sizable fraction of the world's ice.
The DrsC like the idea. By making the purchase Trump would guarantee himself a place in our history books.
At this point, the President himself has not mentioned the idea in public. Whether he is serious about the purchase is unknown. No Dane in any official capacity has commented on the idea.
It appears the last major land purchase by the U.S. was Alaska in 1867. Acquiring Greenland has to appeal to the real estate speculator aspect of Trump's personality.
Later ... Lucianne.com links to a Daily Wire article about this story that's not behind a paywall.
