[@Rimrock300]

Iceland got quite much ice, about 10% of the area is covered by glaciers, but more green than Greenland for sure) An early explorer of Iceland did climb a mountain and looked around, did see a lot of ice, and called it Iceland. He just happened to look at a part of the country that had high concentration of ice. Regarding Greenland there are some costal areas in the south that got much green grass in the summer, and 1000 years ago there was even more green areas and less ice. Main reason for the name is the first vikings named it Greenland to attract more people coming settle there, and the name Iceland was already taken

Greenland already has significant autonomy within the Kingdom of Denmark. It is not simply a territory with no say in its future; the people of Greenland have political rights and the ability to shape their future through democratic means. In fact, Greenland has the right to seek independence. This is guaranteed by the Self-Government Act passed in 2009, which expanded Greenland’s autonomy and provides the legal framework for full independence should the people of Greenland decide they want it. At this point, Greenland is still part of the Kingdom of Denmark, and the government of Denmark cannot simply sell Greenland to another country. Denmark doesn't have the authority to do so because Greenland is not a commodity to be bought or sold. Greenland is a self-governing territory, and any decision about its future must come from the people of Greenland, not external parties. And that is why Denmark said NO, it is not there to be sold, but if it wants to become independent, it can do whatever it wants to. But that still doesnt mean they want to belong to the USA NOR will Denmark just sell them, so its a HARD NO FROM DENMARK. However, if Greenland were to become independent and later choose to form a political or economic union with another country, it could explore that option on its own terms. But this is a decision for the Greenlandic people to make after achieving independence from Denmark. If Greenland wanted to pursue full independence, it could hold a referendum, and the people would decide whether to remain part of Denmark or establish a fully independent country. The Danish government would respect that decision, as it has promised in the Self-Government Act. So, if Greenland chose independence, it could become a sovereign state with full control over its affairs. But right now, again, it still belong to Denmark and they will not sell it.

[@victorianmelody46]

The Greenland subsoil contains billions and billions of a variety of valuable minerals, rare earth metals, precious metals, precious stones, coal, graphite, uranium, and deposits of copper, gold, lead, molybdenum, titanium, and zinc. Greenland has been a mining nation since the late 1700's. Sealing, whaling, fishing and hunting are another main source of income. Russia, China, and Australia are all competing for Greenland's resources. Greenland is larger than Mexico and the world's largest island. Greenland has been politically and culturally associated with Europe for about a millennium. It's Greenland's wealth of resources Trump is after.

According to the documents published by Denmark in 1997, the U.S. Army's "Iceworm" missile network was outlined in a 1960 Army report titled "Strategic Value of the Greenland Icecap". If fully implemented, the project would cover an area of 52,000 square miles (130,000 km2), roughly three times the size of Denmark. The launch complex floors would be 28 feet (8.5 m) below the surface, with the missile launchers even deeper. Clusters of missile launch centers would be spaced 4 miles (6.4 km) apart. New tunnels were to be dug every year, so that after five years there would be thousands of firing positions, among which the several hundred missiles could be rotated. The US Army intended to deploy a shortened, two-stage version of the U.S. Air Force's Minuteman missile, a variant the Army proposed calling it Iceman

It will be the Greenlandic people to decide😂 sometimes having other options than you're used too is better chance to improve situations. I just hope other countries have this kind of offer by the USA. Too many people want to go and live and many countries want to ally themselves. I just hope Greenland people look at the big advantage for their future. Politicians will always think of themselves and of course Denmark want to have a grip for longer years for power and control. At the end of the day, it's you as people decide what's best for you. Alaska, Hawaii and other pacific island territories of the US is doing great so I'm sure Greenland would too if they be part of US territory. I went to Hawaii, Saipan and the Marianas islands territory of the US, theyre all great! You can take NCLEX exam in Saipan if you want to apply as a nurse in the US. Most Asian does there.

Greenland has the #1 suicide rate in the world, alcoholism and drug addiction is a big issue there and Denmark has done little to none to solve that problem, Inuits have been treated like second class citizens ever since, they deserve so much better, and hopefully Trump will do that for them.
