As President-elect Donald Trump continues to express interest in the U.S. acquiring Greenland, Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., conveyed a willingness to entertain the concept. Fetterman noted that he would not support forcibly seizing Greenland — but the senator, who made the comments during an appearance on Fox News Channel's 'Special Report,' pointed to historical American land acquisitions, including the Louisiana purchase and the purchase of Alaska.
he said in a Truth Social post on Monday. Donald Trump Jr. visited Greenland on Tuesday. The icy island 'has its own extensive local government, but it is also part of the Realm of Denmark,' according to denmark.dk. 'Greenland was a Danish colony until 1953, when it was redefined as a district of Denmark. In addition to its own local government, Greenland has two representatives in the Danish Parliament, the Folketing.
The senator replied that if Senate Democrats cannot muster 7 votes in support of the measure, that is one of the reasons they lost.
