US President Donald Trump ruled out acquiring Greenland through force.
Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Wednesday, he said the United States never asked for anything from its allies.
“We probably won’t get anything unless I use excessive strength and force. We would be, frankly, unstoppable,” he said.
He added that he would not do that.
“People thought I would use force. I don’t have to use force, I don’t want to use force, I won’t use force,” Trump said.
“All the United States want is a place called Greenland,” he said, adding that the US needed the island to ensure US national security.
“You can say ‘yes,’ and we will be very appreciative,” the US president said. “Or you can say ‘no,’ and we will remember.”
