After winning the US presidential election, Donald Trump has again expressed his desire to buy the island of Greenland. Let us tell you that even during the previous tenure, America had expressed its desire to buy Greenland. But the question is whether Greenland can be sold and if it is sold, what will be its price.
what is greenland
First of all let us know what is Greenland? Let us tell you that Greenland is the largest island in the world. Which is currently the territory of Denmark. Greenland is an island covered with a white sheet of ice. However, the geographical conditions of this island are such that very little population lives here.
Why is Trump eyeing Greenland?
80 percent of Greenland is covered with glaciers. Less than 60 thousand people live here. According to experts, there are immense natural resources present here. There is a possibility of presence of iron ore, lead, zinc, diamond, gold and rare elements of the world like uranium and oil. At the same time, this island is special for America from geographical and political point of view.
Could Greenland be sold?
Now the question comes whether Greenland can be sold? Let us tell you that after Donald Trump expressed his desire to buy Greenland, the government of that country has made a tweet. In which it is said that Greenland is a natural source of mineral wealth, pure water and ice, aquatic life and renewable energy. But it is also famous for adventure tourism. He said that we keep an open mind for business, but not for sale.
What will be the price when sold?
Now the whole world wants to know what will be the price of Greenland if it is sold. There is no exact answer to this question. But according to reports, quoting documents preserved in the US archives, it has been said that in 1946, when America proposed to Denmark to buy Greenland, it had quoted a price of 100 million dollars in the form of gold. If we consider the current economy then this price comes to around 1.3 billion dollars. America had offered to give this amount in the form of gold.
