AS the Trump administration intensifies efforts to acquire Greenland from Denmark – or take it by force – some Silicon Valley tech investors are promoting the frozen island as a site for a so-called freedom city, a libertarian utopia with minimal corporate regulation, three people familiar with the matter said.
