The US must control Greenland to ensure international security, US President Donald Trump said, quoted by Reuters, BTA reported.
Trump said this while signing decrees in the Oval Office of the White House on the first day of his second term as president. He has expressed interest in annexing Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory, to the United States since he was re-elected president last November.
Donald Trump does not rule out the use of military or economic force to convince Denmark to cede Greenland. Greenlandic Prime Minister Mute Egede, who is a supporter of Greenlandic independence, said that the island is not for sale and that its people will decide their own future.
