I think US will get control of Greenland, - Trump
US leader Donald Trump is confident that the United States will have control over Greenland.
He made the statement on board Air Force One on Saturday, January 25, Censor.NET reports citing RBC-Ukraine.
"I think we're going to get it," the US president said.
Trump added that allegedly 57,000 Greenlanders want to join the United States.
"I really don't know what Denmark's claim is, but it would be a very unfriendly act if they didn't let that happen, because it's to protect the free world... It has nothing to do with the United States, except that we can provide freedom. They can't," Trump said.
Trump wants to buy Greenland
In early January, Trump said that Denmark should give up Greenland to protect the "free world."
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen cannot imagine and does not believe that the United States will use military or economic force to control Greenland.
Danish Foreign Minister Rasmussen, in turn, said that Greenland could become independent if its residents so choose, but it would not be a US state.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said that the EU will not allow other countries to attack its borders.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz warned against violent border changes in light of US President-elect Donald Trump's recent statements about claims to Greenland.
U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken believes that there is no need to waste time discussing the intentions of the newly elected U.S. President Donald Trump to establish control over Greenland.
CNN writes that Danish officials fear that US President Donald Trump is much more serious about acquiring Greenland than in his first term.
Earlier, Greenland's Prime Minister Mute Egede said that the island does not want to be American or Danish, but seeks independence, noting that this is nothing new.
