Denmark has poured scorn on Donald Trump’s reported plan to buy Greenland from the Scandinavian country.

"We are open for business, but we're NOT for sale," said Denmark's foreign minister Ane Lone Bagger, in a note to Reuters.

Mr Trump is due to visit Copenhagen in September and the Arctic will be on the agenda during meetings with prime minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenland leader Kim Kielsen.

The US president has suggested purchasing the vast Arctic territory on numerous occasions with staff after hearing about its natural resources and geopolitical importance, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The notion of purchasing the autonomous Danish territory was laughed off by some of Mr Trump's advisers as a joke but has been taken more seriously by others in the White House, two sources familiar with the situation said on Thursday.

But Danish politicians mocked the notion of selling Greenland, the world’s largest island.

"If he is truly contemplating this, then this is final proof, that he has gone mad," foreign affairs spokesman for the Danish People’s Party, Soren Espersen, told broadcaster DR.


"The thought of Denmark selling 50,000 citizens to the United States is completely ridiculous,“ he said.

Greenland, a self-ruling part of Denmark located between the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans, is dependent on Danish economic support.

Greenland's foreign ministry echoed its Danish counterpart, when its official Twitter account said: "We're open for business, not for sale."


Ms Frederiksen, Denmark's prime minister, was not available for comment. The US embassy in Copenhagen was also not immediately available for comment.

“Oh dear lord. As someone who loves Greenland, has been there nine times to every corner and loves the people, this is a complete and total catastrophe,“ former US ambassador to Denmark, Rufus Gifford, said in on Twitter.

Former prime minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen tweeted: “It has to be an April Fool’s joke. Totally out of season."

The prospect of US ownership also outraged residents in Nuuk, Greenland's tiny capital on its southwest coast.

One local simply responded, “Oh please God no”, while another tweeted, “We are not something you can just buy. Keep away from our country“, adding the hashtag “#Jerk”.

Greenland is gaining attention from global super powers including China, Russia and the US due to its strategic location and its mineral resources.

In May, US secretary of state Mike Pompeo said Russia was behaving aggressively in the Arctic and China’s actions there had to be watched closely as well.

A defence treaty between Denmark and the US dating back to 1951 gives the US military rights over the Thule Air Base in northern Greenland.

Greenland is part of Denmark with self-government over domestic affairs, while Copenhagen handles defence and foreign policy.

There has been no indication that a Greenland purchase will be on the agenda for Mr Trump’s talks with Danish officials.

Martin Lidegaard, senior lawmaker of the Danish Social Liberal Party and former foreign minister Martin Lidegaard called the idea "a grotesque proposal" which had no basis in reality.

“We are talking about real people and you can’t just sell Greenland like an old colonial power," he told Reuters.

“But what we can take seriously is that the US stakes and interest in the Arctic is significantly on the rise, and they want a much bigger influence,“ he added.

In 1917 Denmark sold off the then Danish West Indies islands for $25m to the US, which renamed them the United States Virgin Islands.

‘He’s rattled’: Trump fears looming economic collapse will lose him 2020 election
‘We’re on that steady march to inevitable recession,’ says bank’s chief economist


Donald Trump is reportedly worried an economic collapse could dent his chance of re-election in 2020 after a change in a major market indicator sparked fears of a US recession.

The US president has spoken with a number of business leaders and financial executives this week to gauge their thoughts on the market’s volatility, according to White House sources.

He has also accused the media and economists of skewing data to thwart his re-election chances.

“He’s rattled,” a Republican close to the administration told The Washington Post. “He thinks that all the people that do this economic forecasting are a bunch of establishment weenies – elites who don’t know anything about the real economy and they’re against Trump.”

The newspaper reported that White House officials were delivering “upbeat assessments of the US economy” to the US president, amid concerns that preparation for a crash would “validate a negative narrative” about the economy.

Mr Trump has reportedly spent much of the week at his New Jersey golf club, spending his mornings on the course, watching cable television in the afternoon and calling confidants and business executives for their thoughts on the economy in the evenings.


Democratic pollster Peter Hart told The Washington Post that Mr Trump is likely to see his chances of re-election slashed if the economy suffers a recession.

“This president is so polarising and off-putting to so many voters that he is dependent upon the good economic numbers to sustain his style,” Mr Hart said. “When you start to hit an economic downturn, there’s no personal element that sustains him.”

Fears of a possible economic downturn grew this week after a closely followed market indicator flipped in the US, a signal that a recession is on its way.

It comes amid growing uncertainty in the global economy as Mr Trump delayed imposing some further tariffs on China amid an escalating trade war. Meanwhile, recession risks are also rising in the UK and Germany.

But Mr Trump hit back at negative economic forecasts this week and instead boasted of the health of the US economy.

“The Fake News Media is doing everything they can to crash the economy because they think that will be bad for me and my re-election,” he tweeted on Thursday.

“The problem they have is that the economy is way too strong and we will soon be winning big on Trade, and everyone knows that, including China!”

At a rally in New Hampshire later that day, Mr Trump told supporters: “You have no choice but to vote for me because your 401(k) [retirement saving plan], everything is going to be down the tubes.

“Whether you love me or hate me, you’ve got to vote for me.”

Meanwhile, many economists fear the US economy is already on track for a recession.

Scott Anderson, chief economist at Bank of the West, said: ”I think we’re heading down that road to recession – we’re on that steady march towards that inevitable conclusion.

“It’s just that drip, drip, drip of trade war anxiety that is hanging over market sentiment.”

Winning re-election during an economic downturn has proved a major obstacle to past presidents. Both Jimmy Carter in 1980 and George HW Bush in 1992 failed to win another term in office amid recessions.

Only one president since the Civil War was re-elected during a recession – William McKinley in 1900.
