But unlike Greenland, Trump can’t afford to buy Canada. Obviously, the U.S. cannot afford to buy Canada, and Canadians, like Greenlanders, aren’t interested in being absorbed. However, Trump intends to “buy” Greenland or invade it despite their objections, and Canadians rightly worry that they might be next. However, at the end of the day, any deal to “buy” Canada would be prohibitive. So my message to the White House, based on my research, is loud and clear: Mr. Trump, you may try to buy Greenland, but you can’t afford Canada.
