Trump has told the World Economic Forum in Davos that the US are seeking “immediate negotiations” to discuss the acquisition of Greenland.
He further stated nobody can secure Greenland apart from the US, saying the world saw this in the Second World War, when “Denmark fell to Germany after six hours of fighting”.
“We were then compelled to send our own forces to hold the Greenland territory, at great cost and expense, Trump says, setting up military bases on this “big beautiful piece of ice.
“After the war, we gave Greenland back to Denmark. How stupid were we to do that? How ungrateful are they now.
“Without us, you’d be speaking German and Japanese, perhaps” he declared.
Trump appeared to state that he won’t use force to obtain Greenland. “We won’t get anything unless I use excessive strength and force, when we would be unstoppable. I won’t use force.” He stated.
