The Washington Post reported this, relaying on those who attended the event.
The evening is closed to the media; approximately 200 participants are allowed to bring two guests each, and they all gather at the Capital Hilton Hotel on the last Saturday of January.
The publication noted that the American leader made this statement "as a joke," reported by report.az.
"We’re not going to attack Greenland. We’re going to buy it," he said. "I never intended to make Greenland the 51st state. I want to make Canada the 51st state. Greenland will be the 52nd, and Venezuela could be the 53rd."
