“I’m seeking immediate negotiations to once again discuss the acquisition of Greenland by the United States, just as we have acquired many other territories throughout our history,” Trump told attendees of the World Economic Forum in Switzerland.
Trump cast the American acquisition of Greenland as essential to collective security and downplayed the danger it would pose to NATO, while suggesting that the US had not received enough in return for its contributions during World War II and after to ensure the protection of its economic partners.
And the US president raised the threat of military force to seize the island, even as he insisted he did not want to resort to that option yet.
“We probably won’t get anything unless I decide to use excessive strength and force where we would be, frankly, unstoppable. But I won’t do that,” Trump said.
