"I can guarantee you that there is no way we [the Danish parliament] would approve independence so that you [the US] could buy Greenland."

"This idea [the US buying Greenland] remains as ludicrous as it was in 2019."

"Greenland is not for sale."

"[T]he Greenlanders would be unlikely to sell [their territory]."

"I don't see anything in the future that would pave the way for a sale [of Greenland]."

"If we [the US] offered all 59,000 people [of Greenland] $2 million each, we could buy Greenland for $118 billion."

"I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that he [Trump] could do a direct purchase [for Greenland]."

"[T]he idea of the US buying Greenland "isn't as mad as it sounds."

"I actually think that the United States might make some sort of purchase."

"I'm sure that Denmark will come along [and sell Greenland]."

Will the US Buy Greenland?
