Opponents say

•      "Mr. President: Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, I have a better idea. In Denmark, everyone is guaranteed health care, college education is free, parents receive 1-year of paid paternity leave & workers don’t make less than $22 an hour.  Let's steal those ideas.." Source: Senator Bernie Sanders (Democrat, Vermont)


•      "Greenland is today a part of the kingdom of Denmark. It is part of our territory, and it's not for sale…So if this is about securing our part of the world, we can find a way forward." Source: Danish Prime Minister Mette Fredriksen

Proponents say

•      "America is back and will soon be bigger than ever with the addition of Red, White, and Blueland. President Trump has correctly identified the purchase of what is now Greenland as a national security priority, and we will proudly welcome its people to join the freest nation to ever exist when our Negotiator-in-Chief inks this monumental deal." Rep. Buddy Carter (Republican, Georgia, District 1)


•      "If we’re already on the hook for having to do that, then we might as well have more control over what happens there…This is not a joke…This is not about acquiring land for the purpose of acquiring land. This is in our national interest and it needs to be solved." Source: Secretary of State Marco Rubio
