Trump's Greenland Problem

Description

Ulrik Pram Gad, a senior researcher at the Danish Institute for international Studies in Copenhagen, said it is too early to know what Trump’s maneuvering will mean for the delicate trilateral partnership between Denmark, Greenland and the United States. 
“Under international law you cannot buy a colonial territory,” Pram Gad said. ​“In principle, Greenlanders could vote to give away sovereignty and sell to the U.S. But that is counter to everything they’ve been trying to do for the last few decades.”
