Why does the U.S. keep trying to buy Greenland? In this episode, we break down the history of Greenland, how Denmark took control of it, and why the U.S. has repeatedly tried to acquire it. We also dive into Trump’s renewed interest in the island, its strategic importance, and whether a U.S. takeover is even realistic.
