Trump plans to open US consulate in Greenland after row over offer to buy

    State details plan to Senate foreign relations committee
    President cancelled Denmark visit over notion of purchase

The Trump administration is planning to open a US consulate in Greenland for the first time in decades, amid increased strategic and economic interest in the Danish territory.

The state department said in a letter to Congress that re-establishing a consulate in Nuuk is part of a broader plan to increase the US presence in the arctic. A copy of the letter was obtained by the Associated Press.

The US has a “strategic interest in enhancing political, economic, and commercial relationships across the Arctic region”, said the letter to the Senate foreign relations committee.

What's with this obsession with Greenland?    Ok, the country has oil.  But the Danes said  no.  So give it up already!

Doesn't Trump have anything else to do  -- like work on the border issue?

The Danes claim Greenland is Autonomous, but then say the US can't have it.  Has anybody bothered to ask the Greenlanders?

Greenland’s Foreign Ministry has said on Friday that the island is ready to do business with the US, but rejects the idea of purchase, the agency commented on the reports that US President Donald Trump is showing interest in buying Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory.

“We are open for business, but we’re not for sale,” Reuters quoted the statement received from Greenland’s Foreign Minister Ane Lone Bagger.
