Whoopi Goldberg has issued a stark warning following reports that President Donald Trump is interested in purchasing Greenland. The television host suggested that if the U.S. successfully acquires the territory, it would threaten global security.
The comments came after President Trump confirmed his interest. He stated that owning Greenland is a matter of national security for the United States.
Goldberg argued on the talk show "The View" that such a move would set a dangerous precedent. She implied any nation could then try to buy another country's land.
"No country on this planet is safe if he can just go, 'I want that,'" Goldberg said.
Greenland is a large, self-governing Arctic territory. It is part of the Kingdom of Denmark. Both Danish leaders and Greenland's own government have said the island is not for sale.
