"How did we come up to Greenland? Well, I don't want to talk about Greenland. Let's talk about Venezuela, Russia, Ukraine. We'll worry about Greenland in about two months. Let's talk about Greenland in 20 days."
"By the way, I will say this about Greenland. We need Greenland from a national security situation. It's so strategic. Right now, Greenland is covered with Russian and Chinese ships all over the place. We need Greenland from the standpoint of national security, and Denmark is not going to be able to do it, I can tell you that."
"You know what Denmark did recently to boost up security on Greenland? They added one more dog sled. It's true. They thought that was a great move."
President Donald Trump emphasized a strategic U.S. interest in Greenland, asserting the island is vital for national security and claiming it is surrounded by Russian and Chinese ships. He suggested Denmark would be unable to handle Greenland's defense and repeatedly returned to the topic while speaking to reporters, despite also discussing Venezuela, Russia, and Ukraine. Trump mocked Denmark's reported security measures on Greenland as minimal, referencing an added dog sled. Trump has previously expressed desire to acquire Greenland and linked the island's strategic value directly to U.S. defense considerations amid alleged foreign naval activity.
