Airdate: 2025-May-06

Episode summary:

It's the world's largest island and one of the most remote places on earth. And now the most famous global property developer wants to buy it. The Danish territory of Greenland has become a sought-after piece of real estate and US President Donald Trump has declared that one way or another America is going to own it. On Foreign Correspondent the ABC's North America Correspondent Lauren Day travels to the icy territory to find out why it's become such hot property. It's strategic location and abundance of rare minerals is driving US interest, but Denmark is adamant Greenland is not for sale. While most Greenlanders ultimately want to be independent, they know they can't financially go it alone for now. But relations with their colonial ruler are far from ideal and some are wondering if this is the moment to strike a deal of their own.
