— We'll have Greenland. Yes. 100 percent, said the President.
Commenting on the words of Vice president J.D. Vance, who said that he did not think the usage of force was essential to take over Greenland, Trump replied: "I never exclude the usage of military force. But I think there's a good chance that we can do this without her.
US Vice president to visit Greenland
Vance made a visit to the U.S. Space Force Base in Greenland on Friday. He criticised the Danish authorities for allegedly neglecting defence investments on the island and proposed that it be placed on a safety umbrella alternatively of Denmark.
Earlier, a delegation from the U.S. government led by Vance’s wife Ushy was to visit Greenland’s capital, Nuuk, and to admire the dog squad race in Sisimiut. Following protests by the Greenland Government and the local population, these plans were cancelled.
Trump claims that the United States needs Greenland for global security. Already during his first word as head of state (2017-21), he showed large interest in taking control of this island.
