from The Best Paragraph I've Read... · host Zac & Don
The Best Paragraph I've Read: As he prepares to assume office, Trump has returned to the idea. “For purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity,” the president-elect wrote on Truth Social, his social media platform, over the weekend, in a statement announcing his choice for ambassador to Denmark. This paragraph comes from the Washington Post. The article is titled: "Who controls Greenland, and why does Trump want to buy it?" The authors are Kelsey Baker & Mikhail Klimentov. You can read the full article here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/12/23/greenland-trump-buy-denmark/ Zac & Don discuss whether there is merit to the idea of America buying Greenland. They wonder if it is actually for sale. They also discuss past land purchases that have worked out well for America.
