President Trump's renewed interest in acquiring Greenland stems from a recent NASA discovery of Camp Century, a Cold War military base recently detected beneath the ice. This base, operational from 1959 until its abandonment in 1967, was initially part of a nuclear missile launch project. With rising global tensions, Trump argues that controlling Greenland is vital for U.S. national security and has openly considered aggressive approaches, including military action, to assert U.S. claims, asserting, 'We need Greenland very badly.'
'I don't rule it out,' Trump said in an interview that aired during the May 4 episode of Meet the Press. 'I don't say I'm going to do it, but I don't rule out anything.'
'We need Greenland very badly,' the president added. 'Greenland is a very small amount of people, which we'll take care of, and we'll cherish them, and all of that. But we need that for international security.'
