Washington | President Donald Trump has pushed top aides to investigate whether the US government can purchase the giant, ice-smothered island of Greenland, two people with direct knowledge of the directive said.
The presidential request has bewildered aides, some of whom continue to believe it isn't serious, but Mr Trump has mentioned it for weeks. As with many of Trump's internal musings, aides are waiting for more direction before they decide how seriously they should look into it.
