Trump wants to buy Greenland. This is what the capital Nuuk - population 17,000 - looks like
- 5 years ago
US President Donald Trump has confirmed he is considering an attempt to purchase Greenland from Denmark for real estate purposes.
An analysis from the Washington Post put a possible price tag between $200 million and $1.7 trillion, although the autonomous territory's prime minister has said the country is not for sale.
In 1946, former US President Harry Truman reportedly attempted to buy Greenland for $100 million in gold - equivalent to roughly $1.3 billion today (adjusted for inflation).
Drone footage filmed in August 2018 displays the snowy residential areas in the country's capital, Nuuk.
