Leaders in Denmark and Greenland have been communicating with President-elect Trump, expressing an openness to allow an increased U.S. military presence on the world’s largest island, according to a Saturday report from Axios.
Danish leaders reportedly expressed to Trump’s team that Greenland is not for sale but they are willing to discuss a host of other possibilities, Axios reported.
