President Donald Trump has now reportedly recently emphasized the necessity for the United States to acquire Greenland from Denmark, citing national security concerns.
Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, he reiterated his stance just a day after Russian President Vladimir Putin commented on Trump’s seriousness regarding the island’s potential acquisition.
During his remarks, Trump declared, “We need Greenland very importantly, for international security, we have to have Greenland.”
He dismissed any notion that the U.S. could afford to overlook Greenland’s strategic importance.
According to Trump, the presence of Chinese and Russian ships in the surrounding waterways presents a significant threat that the U.S. cannot ignore, asserting that America cannot rely on Denmark or any other nation to address these challenges.
Trump stressed that the stakes extend beyond American peace, emphasizing, “We’re talking about world peace. We’re talking about international security.”
He expressed concern about the numerous warships operating near Greenland and insisted that the U.S. must take action to ensure the safety and security of its territorial interests.
He pointed out that the strategic value of Greenland is further amplified by modern military technology.
Trump noted that certain areas of Greenland are becoming more accessible due to climate-induced changes, including the opening of waterways.
These developments, he suggested, could potentially facilitate increased maritime activity, further heightening the need for U.S. presence and control in the region.
On Friday Trump also released a video on X which highlighted the longstanding historical ties between the U.S. and Greenland.
