特朗普想把格林兰买下来，格林兰人很生气

President Trump on Sunday confirmed that his administration has discussed buying Greenland from Denmark, comparing the idea to "a large real estate deal" and suggesting the island would be of strategic value to the United States.

特朗普总统周日证实他的政府讨论了从丹麦买下格林兰的事宜，他把这一想法比作“大型房地产交易”，并表明这个岛对美国有战略价值。

Speaking to reporters, the president confirmed reports that first appeared on Thursday in The Wall Street Journal that he had asked administration officials to look into the possibility of purchasing the self-governing Danish territory.

特朗普在面对记者时证实了最初于周四发表在《华尔街日报》上的报道，报道中说他让政府官员研究购买这一丹麦自治领土的可能性。

"It's just something we've talked about," he said. "Denmark essentially owns it. We're very good allies with Denmark. We've protected Denmark like we protect large portions of the world, so the concept came up."

他说：“这只是我们讨论过的事，它基本上归丹麦所有，我们和丹麦是很好的盟友，我们保护丹麦就像保护世界大部分地区一样，所以有了这个想法。”

"Strategically, it's interesting. And, we'd be interested. We'll talk to them a little bit," the president said. He added, "It's not No. 1 on the burner, I can tell you that."

特朗普总统说：“从战略上来说这个地方很有趣，我们很感兴趣，我们会和他们谈谈”。他补充道：“我可以告诉你，这并不是最重要的。”

But the idea has gotten a chilly reception both in Greenland and in the Danish capital, Copenhagen.

但这个想法在格林兰和丹麦首都哥本哈根均遭到冷遇。

Denmark's prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, who was on a visit to Greenland on Sunday, responded to Trump's remarks by saying emphatically that "Greenland is not for sale."

丹麦首相梅特⋅弗雷泽里克森周日到达格林兰，对特朗普的言论做出回应时强调说“格林兰不卖”。

"Greenland is not Danish. Greenland belongs to Greenland," Frederiksen said, according to the newspaper Sermitsiaq.

据《Sermitsiaq》报纸报道，弗雷泽里克森说：“格林兰不是丹麦的，格林兰属于格林兰”。

"I strongly hope that this is not meant seriously," she said.

她说：“我真心希望这不是认真的”。

Earlier Sunday, White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow told Fox News that the president had discussed the subject with his advisers.

周日早些时候，白宫经济顾问Larry Kudlow对《福克斯新闻》说总统已经和顾问讨论了这一问题。

"I don't want to predict an outcome, I'm just saying the president — who knows a thing or two about buying real estate — wants to take a look at a Greenland purchase."

“我不想预测结果，我只是说总统想要看看格林兰的购买事宜，他对购买房地产略知一二。”
