President-elect Trump has considered buying Greenland: Here's every proposal in American history
Fox News
President-elect Trump has floated the idea the United States may purchase Greenland in his previous term, but he is far from the first American to suggest it.
The Wall Street Journal first reported Trump’s interest, citing sources who said he had mentioned the idea with "varying degrees of seriousness."The idea was shelved after Joe Biden took office in 2021, but has resurfaced online in the wake of Trump's victory earlier this month.

Republican Congressman Mike Collins of Georgia posted what appears to be an electoral map featuring Greenland on November 7, with the territory voting GOP. It was captioned, "Project 2029."Since then, a member of parliament in Denmark has pushed back on the idea of the United States purchasing Greenland as an American territory. According to a post from Rasmus Jarlov, the Danish parliament does not intend to offer the territory to anyone, especially the United States. "Greenlandic independence requires approval by the Danish parliament[sic] and a change of our constitution," wrote Jarlov. "I can guarantee you that there is no way we would approve indepence[sic] so that you could buy Greenland. Nice fantasy but forget it."
