"I have tremendous respect for the people of Greenland and Denmark, but every Nato members has the obligation to defend their own territory. Only the US can defend it [Greenland]."
"We literally set up bases in Greenland for Denmark, we were fighting for Denmark, but we saved Greenland and prevented our enemies from getting it. Greenland is a vast, almost uninhabitated piece of ice. It's in a key, strategic location between the US, China, and Russia."
"We need it [Greenland] for strategic national security and international security. The island is part of North America, it is our territory. It is the US alone that can protect this great piece of ice and make it that it is safe and good for Europe."
"I am seeking immediate negotiations to discuss the acquisition of this territory, just as we have acquired many other territories throughout our history, as many of the European nations have"
Donald Trump described Denmark and Greenland as "ungrateful" and said the United States set up bases and fought for Denmark, saving Greenland from enemies. He characterized Greenland as a sparsely inhabited piece of ice in a key strategic location between the US, China and Russia and argued that only the US can defend it. He asserted the island is part of North America and effectively US territory, proposed immediate negotiations to acquire it, compared the proposal to past territorial acquisitions, said acquisition would enhance NATO security, and ruled out using military force to take control.
