Last week, The Wall Street Journal reported that in some meetings or dinners the president had asked the advisors if the United States could acquire the autonomous Danish territory that is covered in ice between the North Atlantic Ocean and the Arctic oceans .
Trump acknowledged that he was "strategically" interested in such an agreement, but noted that it was not a priority of his government.
"It is not the first priority on the list," he told reporters.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has said that Greenland is not for sale and that Trump's idea of buying the territory is an "absurd discussion."
With a population of about 56,000 people, Greenland is a free territory of the Kingdom of Denmark with a government that decides on most of the country's affairs, although Copenhagen continues to look after security-related interests and foreign policy.
