U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken dismissed President-elect Donald Trump's suggestion of a U.S. takeover of Greenland during a press conference in Paris, stating that it is 'obviously not a good one' and 'not going to happen.' Blinken emphasized that the U.S. achieves better results by working closely with allies rather than alienating them. This statement comes in response to Trump's recent comments where he expressed interest in acquiring Greenland for national security purposes and did not rule out the use of military force.
