Well, with global warming, real estate values there will probably be going up. The US originally offered to buy Greenland from Denmark back in 1946 for $100 million, but the Danes refused.
The Germans landed in Greenland during the war to set up weather stations. When the Allies found out, they sent in a small force of Coast Guardsmen and Eskimos on dog sleds, who captured the weather stations and drove the Axis invaders out.
Last real estate deal we had with Denmark was back in 1917 when we bought the Virgin Islands for $25 million (that would be $500 million today with inflation).

Maybe we could exile Trump there, like when the French banished Napoleon to Elba.

That's what Argentina said back in 1982 about another sparsely populated, frozen wasteland. Didn't work out too well.
