Trump Cancels Denmark Trip Because Greenland Is Not for Sale
特朗普取消了丹麦之行 只因格陵兰岛是非卖品
President Trump cancelled his upcoming trip to Denmark after the Danish prime minister told him that Greenland is not for sale. The US president had recently expressed interest in purchasing the country. Greenland is an autonomous Danish territory located east of the Canadian Arctic. While Trump had called a US purchase of Greenland a big real estate deal, the prime minister of Denmark called the idea absurd. In 1946, US president Harry Truman attempted to buy Greenland due to its strategic military location. As melting ice opens up shipping routes and allows resources to become more accessible, Trump has taken a renewed interest in the area.
特朗普总统取消了即将到来的丹麦之行,此前丹麦首相告诉他格陵兰岛是非卖品。美国总统最近表达了买下该国的意向。格陵兰岛位于加拿大北极以东,是丹麦的自治领土。尽管特朗普认为美国收购格陵兰岛是一项大型房地产交易,但丹麦首相称这一想法荒谬可笑。1946年,美国总统哈里·杜鲁门曾因其军事战略地位试图买下格陵兰岛。随着冰层融化开辟了航道,资源变得更容易获得,特朗普对该地区重新产生了兴趣。
