Greenland is part of Denmark. Many countries look at Greenland. The weather is changing. Ice is melting. New sea paths are opening. Countries want to find rocks and control travel. Trump's idea is not new. The leader of Denmark said it was "silly."

The leader of Denmark said, "We believe in rules." She also said people can choose their future. The head of the European Commission agreed. She said, "Working together is better." These ideas help Greenland's people.

The US has a base in Greenland. It is called Thule Air Base. This is not the same as buying the land. Denmark does not want to sell.
