Does trump want Greenland because he is confused about its size? [View all]
First of all, the researcher believes that Donald Trump may be mistaken about Greenland's size.
"He probably thinks Greenland is bigger than it is," says de Carvalho.
That misconception likely applies to many of us. Because if you look at a typical world map, Greenland and Africa appear nearly the same size. This does not match reality.
