“We need Greenland for international security. We need it”, US President Donald Trump said in a radio interview broadcast before US Vice President J.D. Vance's visit to the autonomous Danish territory, Agence France-Presse reported, quoted by BTA.
“This is an island that we need from a defensive and offensive perspective”, the US president emphasized in an interview with podcaster Vince Collianese.
“I hate to say it, but we're going to have to” to take ownership of the vast Arctic territory, Trump added, without specifying how Washington plans to obtain it, AFP notes.
