In August 2019, reports emerged indicating the United States executive branch was analyzing the feasibility of purchasing Greenland, an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark. President Donald Trump publicly confirmed this interest. Following statements from the Government of Greenland and the Prime Minister of Denmark indicating the territory was not available for purchase, President Trump announced the indefinite postponement of a scheduled state visit to Denmark. The specific financial terms or formal diplomatic overtures prior to the public announcement remain undisclosed.
