"Trump, who floated the idea of acquiring Greenland during his first term, told journalists Peter Baker and Susan Glasser in 2021 that the island's size was part of the reason he wanted the territory.
"You take a look at a map. I'm a real estate developer. I look at a corner, I say, 'I've got to get that store for the building that I'm building,' etc. It's not that different," Trump said. "I love maps. And I always said: Look at the SIZE of this. It's MASSIVE. That should be part of the United States."
In 2019, he told reporters about a possible purchase, "Essentially, it's a large real estate deal. A lot of things can be done."
At 836,000 square miles, Greenland is about a quarter of the size of the continental U.S."
