<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Back in December, Donald Trump when announcing PayPal co-founder Ken Howery, as his pick for ambassador to Denmark, reiterated his interest in buying Greenland, the mineral rich arctic island that is an autonomous territory of Denmark.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8216;We are showing bipartisan solidarity with the people of this country and with Greenland. They&#8217;ve been our friends and allies for decades,&#8217; Democratic Senator Dick Durbin told reporters. <br>&#8216;We want them to know we appreciate that very much.
