PUERTO RICO: “New details have emerged about former President Donald Trump’s alleged desire to have the United States acquire the island of Greenland while in office. According to a forthcoming book, the former president at one point even suggested to aides that the U.S. could trade Puerto Rico for it…
According to the book, former national security adviser John Bolton even had his aide Fiona Hill ‘assemble a small team to brainstorm ideas. They engaged in secret talks with Denmark’s ambassador and produced an options memo.’
While Bolton thought that “an outright purchase was not feasible,” Trump ‘kept pushing,’ the authors write.”
