The US tried to buy Greenland before buying Alaska. No telling where Trump will take this issue.
But I am certain that I don't want to bet against him. He's a master at negotiating.
As he always does, he pre-positions the players he sees involved in the deal where he wants them on the battlefield, before he really turns it on.
He's been dancing with this gal from Denmark. She turned heal huffed "no way" to Trump when he said he'd like to buy it. But now they're talking again. Wink, wink. Trump's getting ready to make the next move.
Trump's playing in familiar territory, negotiating the purchase of land and assets. It would be a brilliant move for national security and military purposes.
If anybody can do it, Trump can.
“The US tried to buy Greenland before buying Alaska. “
I believe you are confusing Alaskan statehood with the actual purchase of Alaska from the Russians in 1867.
