Members of Congress say they want a happy ending to the perpetual Greenland saga. But President Donald Trump keeps making clear that his only desired outcome is the one where the U.S. gains control over the territory.
“We need Greenland for national security, so we’re gonna see what happens,” Trump told reporters at the White House on Wednesday, a day marked by high-level meetings in the U.S. with officials from Greenland and Denmark. “If we don’t go in, Russia’s going to go in, China’s going to go in.”
Asked by reporters whether taking Greenland by force was a possibility, Trump said he would not discuss his options.
