The government of Greenland says it's happy that US President, Donald Trump, has taken an interest, but it's not for sale.

Following reports that Trump had spoken about the notion of buying Greenland, the semi-autonomous Danish territory issued a short statement today to clarify it isn't on the market.

A Trump ally told The Associated Press yesterday that the president had discussed the purchase but was not serious about it.

However, a Republican congressional aide says Trump brought up the notion enough times to make lawmakers wonder.
