Greenlanders on Trump wanting to buy their island

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-49436197

Greenlanders respond to President Trump's offer to buy Greenland from Denmark. They are worried about the U.S. seizing property and building more military bases in the area. Greenlanders already feel sour towards the U.S. due to the presence of old military buildings that could expose the country to nuclear waste. They are also worried about mistreatment of native Inughuits. Trump was criticized for wanting to purchase Greenland from Denmark, even though Greenland was granted the right to self-determination.
