Denmark's Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen spoke with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Friday, and the two agreed that the topic of Greenland will be discussed at a later time, the Danish foreign ministry said in a statement.

The picturesque country of Greenland has become a popular destination for the many seniors who are traveling in record numbers to all corners of the world.

Anders Vistisen, a Danish member of the European Parliament, has told U.S. President Donald Trump to "f*** off" after Trump again expressed interest in purchasing the island of Greenland. Newsweek has contacted the White House for comment via email.

The riches thought to lie beneath Greenland's icy terrain have been coveted for more than a century. But how easy are they to access, and will climate change make any difference?

Trump’s fascination with Greenland is not a new idea. For more than a thousand years, colonial aspirations have shaped the island’s history. The Norse, Danes, Nazis, and Americans came to Greenland chasing territory and natural resources, and for military domination of the Arctic.

President Trump isn’t taking “no” for an answer on acquiring Greenland. Although the self-governing territory and its colonial authority, Denmark, insist the island isn’t for sale, Republicans in Congress are backing the plan to expand America’s boundaries northward.

President Trump ruffled feathers with his plan to buy Greenland, and a Danish MEP is pushing back in a coarsely worded response put in 'words [he] might understand.'

Some of Trumps threats to take over Greenland, Canada, and the Panama Canal are based on actual U.S. strategic goals. Others are just idiotic.

The creator of the Danish political TV drama "Borgen", Adam Price, says U.S. President Donald Trump's wish to control Greenland has created an "absurd" reality that has made it more challenging to write political fiction.

Greenlanders do not want to follow American policy on China. And a large minority view Chinese influence in the world positively.

Greenland is the world's largest island, but most of it is covered by ice. Its southern tip, however, is sprinkled with picturesque towns and villages that are isolated from each other.
