Ken Howery, appointed by Donald Trump as the U.S. ambassador to Denmark, is at the forefront of the controversial attempt to buy Greenland. A notable member of the 'PayPal Mafia' and co-founder of Founders Fund, Howery has significant tech investment experience. Despite his background, both Denmark and Greenland have expressed disinterest in selling. Greenland's Prime Minister stated, 'We don’t want to be Americans.' Trump claims the acquisition is crucial for national security, highlighting Greenland's potential natural resources. Howery's endeavor resembles a political drama amidst skepticism.
