A: Apparently, Trump wants to buy Greenland! Again!
B: Seriously?! He’s still talking about that? I remember hearing about it before.
A: Yeah! He mentioned it at a conference in Switzerland. People in Greenland aren't happy at all.
B: Wow. I wonder why he wants it?
A: A shop owner in Nuuk, Mia, said she doesn’t like it one bit.
