Trump Seeks Greenland Acquisition to Counter Russia and China, Pressures Denmark
Jan 21, 2025, 01:42 AM
U.S. President Donald Trump has reiterated his interest in acquiring Greenland, emphasizing its importance for international security to combat Russia and China. Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump stated that Greenland is a 'wonderful place' and necessary for international security, suggesting that Denmark, which currently administers the island, would eventually agree to the transfer due to the high maintenance costs. Trump also mentioned that the people of Greenland are unhappy with Denmark and might prefer U.S. governance. This statement comes amidst concerns from Denmark's foreign minister, who emphasized that no country should be able to simply take another country's territory.
