- Reposted by Peter R. MartinSome US politicians are "asking" why Greenland is Danish territory. For those who care: the president of the USA signed an agreement about this some 110 years ago, on 4 August 1916. (USA got the "Danish West-Indies" in return) #Greenland #KalaallitNunaat jyllands-posten.dk/indland/ECE1...
