Currently, the population of Greenland is about 57 thousand people.
Trump has previously expressed the opinion that Greenland should become part of the USA, emphasizing its strategic importance for America's national security. The authorities of Greenland and Denmark, to which the island belongs, have expressed dissatisfaction with such statements and called for respect for their territorial integrity.
In addition, Trump stated that in February the USA will impose a 10% tariff on Northern European countries that do not support the possible sale of Greenland. Later, he added that tariffs could increase to 25% if an agreement is not reached. However, the day before, the president announced that the tariffs would not be implemented after all.
