Fuhrer Trump got something wrong when he picked a fight with Denmark, canceling a meeting with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen because of her dismissal of the idea.

If Fuhrer Trump wanted to purchase Greenland, Denmark wouldn’t be the most important party—the people of Greenland would be.

Fuhrer Trump seems to be under the impression that sovereign purchases work as they did in the 1800s.

When the United States bought the Louisiana Purchase from France, the people living in that region had no say. When the United States bought Alaska from Russia in 1867, there was no referendum among the 50,000 or so indigenous peoples living there. But this is 2019.

What’s more, the relationship between Greenland and Denmark is not as simple as that between colony and colonizer. Especially since a 2008 referendum, Greenland has a far greater measure of autonomy than earlier in its colonial history. The country has its own Parliament and premier and control over most political matters, except those concerning foreign policy and national security.

Sure, Fuhrer Trump’s Greenland fantasy is a long way off from realization. But if it were to happen, it would be through a process that Trump has yet to invoke: one that depends on approval of the transferred territory itself, ideally through a popular referendum or legislative vote.

To understand why the Greenlandic people—or at least their government—are necessary in acquiring the territory, it helps to know a bit about the history of sovereign land transactions, and, crucially, how changes in international law and practice would require them to look different in 2019 than they did in 1800.  Something that Fuhrer Trump is incapable of understanding.

Don't you mean fuhrer Obama?  He's the one who murdered 6 million Jews.

Are you saying Greenland is independent and can ignore the dictates of Denmark?

I'm looking forward to welcoming the people of Greenland as American citizens.  I bet they've got some great cross country skiing.
