Trump on Greenland: During the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) held in Davos, Switzerland, US President Donald Trump on Wednesday made it clear that America will not use force to take control of Greenland.
He said that only America can protect this mineral-rich island. The issue of Greenland remains at the center of growing geopolitical tension between America and Europe.
‘We will not forget this’
“People were thinking I would use force, but I don’t need to. I don’t want to use force and I won’t,” Trump said at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Switzerland.
Trump also said that if someone says “no” on the Greenland issue, he will not forget it. He said, “You can say yes, you can say no, but we will remember it.” He said, ‘When we saved Greenland and handed it over to Denmark after World War II, we were a superpower, but now we are much more powerful than that.’
Trump’s sharp attack on Europe
While addressing the WEF, Trump said that America is making economic progress while Europe is not moving in the right direction. The US President said in his 70-minute long speech, ‘I have great respect for the people of Greenland and Denmark, and only America can protect Greenland.’
Claim on Greenland and refusal to use force
Expressing his claim on Greenland, Trump said, ‘We fought for beautiful Denmark, which is not a land, but a big piece of iceberg, located in a cold and inaccessible place. This is a very small demand compared to what we have given them for many decades. It was foolish of us to give it back.
Trump said that Greenland, a semi-autonomous region of Denmark, is located in a strategic location between America, Russia and China. He said, ‘America needs it for strategic reasons, not for rare minerals.’ Trump said that only America can protect Greenland, and many European countries have also occupied many areas, there is nothing wrong in that.
