Jan 7, 2025, 05:26 PM
President Donald Trump has declared that the United States needs Greenland for national security purposes and questioned Denmark's legal claim to the territory, stating, 'People don't even know if Denmark has any legal right to it. But if they do, they should give it up because we need it for national security.' Trump hinted at imposing high tariffs on Denmark if it does not relinquish control of Greenland, saying, 'I will tariff Denmark at a very high level.' He emphasized the strategic importance of Greenland for protecting the free world, referencing the presence of Russian and Chinese ships in the region.
