US President Donald Trump on Tuesday reiterated his desire to purchase Greenland. While making his first address to the US Congress as President, Trump painted a picture of prosperity for the "incredible people of Greenland".
"We will keep you safe, we will make you rich, and together, we will take Greenland to heights like you have never thought possible before," Trump said.
"It's a very small population, a very, very large piece of land, and very, very important for military security," he said, adding that the US "needed" Greenland for international world security."
However, Trump's statement was once again refuted by Greenland Prime Minister Mute Egde, who stated that the world's largest island is "not for sale."
While Greenland and its citizens are officially citizens of Denmark, the island has its own government with Mute Egede as the prime minister.
In recent years, Greenland has witnessed a rising independence movement with PM Egede expressing the desire to break away from Denmark.
