Trump says he still wants to buy Greenland, suggests Canada could become a U.S. state toggle caption Mandel Ngan/AFP via Getty Images President Trump discussed several of his top foreign policy priorities in public comments over the weekend, including his desire to purchase Greenland and the possibility of turning Canada into a U.S. state. Though Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen replied at the time that Greenland is "not for sale," Trump indicated on Saturday that he's still keen to make Greenland a part of the United States. Canada would benefit from becoming a U.S. state, Trump says Trump has repeatedly threatened to impose tariffs on Canada in his second term, saying on Saturday that the northern neighbor of the U.S. has been "treating us very unfairly on trade." Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said earlier this month that his country becoming the 51st U.S. state is "not going to happen."
