This week has seen one of the most bizarre diplomatic rows of Donald Trump's presidency. Insults have been exchanged, tweets have been sent, major visits have been cancelled - and this all happened because the US president said he wanted to buy Greenland. It started with an article in the WSJ which, quoting sources, claimed the US president had "with varying degrees of seriousness, repeatedly expressed interest in buying the ice-covered autonomous Danish territory".
