Mara-Igloo?
There are multiple reports that the Trump administration has been trying to buy....Greenland.
This is exactly what many of us were afraid of when weighing the nomination of a sketchy Bronx real-estate developer to high office.
"Actually, I don't remember this specific scenario ever being discussed."

Greenland is...misleadingly named...and a poor location for a casino, golf course or beach resort.
However, Greenland is massively strategic, in both location and mineral resources, potentially making this a very good investment.
The world's largest island (which, while big, is not NEARLY as big as a Mercator projection often makes it look) is a net (albeit slight) economic drain on Denmark,which doesn't have the resources to develop it or realistically defend it and it's small population of ~56,000 has been steadily dwindling for some time. This is mainly due to them being eaten by polar bears and Ithaqua.
Not that it's without charm. To wit: Scenic Kulusuk.

"Please ignore his last sentence as it is dubious and lacks a citation!"
This is actually the third time the U.S. has tried to buy Greenland, once in 1867 and once in 1946. As of now, Denmark has looked at the cost/benefit of owning Greenland and once again said "No!".
China, will, no doubt, be undeterred from their more subtle efforts towards the same end.
