And not the American consumer?

This will just drive European countries to stop trading with the US and look elsewhere.

Probably not that much trade to the US from those countries normally, anyway.

Why does he think Russia or China want the place?

The US already has a base there anyway.

Absolutely no point in 'acquiring' Greenland, other than Trump's ego driven insanity.
