"Speaking with reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump said that he was open to making a deal on Greenland in principle, but insisted one way or the other, we are going to have Greenland. If we don't take Greenland, Russia or China will, and I'm not letting that happen, he said, despite no obvious interest from either of the two countries. Trump also mocked Greenland's defence saying it consists of two dog sleds, facing Russian and Chinese destroyers and submarines all over the place."
"We are at a crossroads, and this is a fateful moment, said Frederiksen. What is at stake is bigger than what the eye can see, because if what we experience from the Americans is that they are actually turning their backs on the western alliance, that they are turning their backs on our Nato cooperation by threatening an ally, which we have not experienced before, then everything will stop."
Donald Trump insisted the US will acquire Greenland, arguing that otherwise Russia or China would claim the territory and asserting he would not let that happen. He described Greenland's defence as 'two dog sleds' facing Russian and Chinese destroyers and submarines. He downplayed potential impacts on NATO, asserting allies need the US more and crediting himself with saving the alliance by pressing for higher defence spending. He also said he was working on ending the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Denmark's prime minister warned the situation places Denmark at a fateful crossroads and accused the US of potentially turning its back on NATO cooperation.
