""Iceland's already cost us a lot of money.""
""Without us, right now, you'd all be speaking German and a little Japanese, perhaps,""
""After the war, we gave Greenland back to Denmark. How stupid were we to do that? But we did it, but we gave it back. But how ungrateful are they now?""
President Donald Trump repeatedly referred to Greenland as 'Iceland' during a World Economic Forum address in Davos while calling for U.S. ownership of the territory. He invoked wartime U.S. actions and accused Denmark of being ungrateful, framing control of Greenland as a self-defense issue. He said the United States returned Greenland after World War II and called that decision 'stupid' while claiming he is 'seeking immediate negotiations' and insisting he 'won't use force.' He also misstated historical and linguistic facts and linked the matter to economic consequences by saying Iceland had already cost the U.S. money.
