In a speech yesterday at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Trump for the first time ruled out using force, but demanded “immediate negotiations” to acquire the island.
“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.
“I don’t have to use force. I don’t want to use force. I won’t use force. All the United States is asking for is a place called Greenland.”
Wall Street stocks opened higher after his speech, and jumped further after his Truth Social post.
Trump insists mineral-rich Greenland is vital for US and Nato security against Russia and China.
