All About Greenland — Ice-Capped Island That’s ⅔ India’s Area — And Trump’s Plans To ‘Buy It’

ABP News  

US President-elect Donald Trump has stirred quite a controversy with his claims about wanting to acquire Greenland, the world’s largest island and a largely autonomous territory under Denmark. World’s Largest Island With an area roughly 2/3rd that of India, Greenland is about 80% ice-capped, according to the CIA World Factbook. The Kingdom of Denmark, however, continues to “exercise control over several policy areas on behalf of Greenland, including foreign affairs, security, and financial policy, in consultation with Greenland's Self-Rule Government”, it adds. US, Greenland & World War II When Denmark was occupied by Germany during World War II, Greenland “became part of the United States’ sphere of interest and several military facilities were established in the country”, notes Trap Greenland, an information portal focused on the territory.
