Trump Labels U.S. “Unstoppable” if It Seized Greenland

US President Donald Trump has doubled down on his demand for control of Greenland at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Trump is asking for immediate negotiations to acquire the Arctic island, stating he “won’t use force.”

Trump spoke for over an hour, during which he said that “no nation or group of nations is in any position to be able to secure Greenland, other than the United States.”

He criticised Denmark for rejecting the proposal. Trump described the country as “ungrateful” and argued that it owed the US for its defence during World War II.

“We probably won’t get anything unless I decide to use excessive strength and force, where we would be frankly unstoppable. But I won’t do that,” Trump added.

Trump also delivered a sharp rebuke of European countries. European officials are expected to use the forum to address the concerns that the Greenland dispute could strain NATO unity.

CNN reported that Trump previously said he would add a 10% tariff to goods from eight European countries that oppose his plan to take over the Danish territory.
