Trump Said the U.S. Will ‘Get’ Greenland. Greenlanders Aren’t Impressed.

Season 1, Ep. 6231

President Trump had a special message on Tuesday night for the “incredible people of Greenland,” whose island he has repeatedly expressed interest in acquiring — through a purchase or by force.


“We strongly support your right to determine your own future,” he said, briefly pausing during a speech to Congress to address Greenlanders directly. Then, with a confident nod, he added, “We will make you rich.”


Some members of Congress responded with a mix of applause, murmurs — and a few smiles. Greenlanders weren’t so enthused.


“It is up to us whether we become rich,” said Pele Broberg, the leader of one of Greenland’s major political parties.
