United States is ready to accept Greenland into its fold if people are in favour. We will get it ’one way or another’ - Trump

Greenland and Trump

US President Donald Trump continues to make territorial claims to Greenland.

Censor.NET reports this with reference to Trump's speech in the US Congress.

Trump said that the United States is ready to accept Greenland into its fold if its people express such a desire. He also stressed that the United States would get Greenland ‘one way or another’.

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 wanted it to, 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.

CNN writes that Danish officials fear that US President Donald Trump is much more serious about acquiring Greenland than he was 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.
