Trump Reiterates Interest in Greenland: "I Believe It Could Happen"

During a press conference at the White House alongside NATO leader Mark Rutte, President Donald Trump expressed his ongoing interest in Greenland, suggesting that a potential agreement regarding the territory could be on the horizon. When asked by a journalist about his vision for the possible annexation of Greenland, Trump responded, "Well, I believe it could happen." He then shifted the focus to Rutte, who diplomatically emphasized the significance of the Arctic region.
Following this exchange, Trump added, "I think we can reach an agreement." His comments come in the context of previous statements where he indicated that he would not rule out the use of military or economic leverage to gain control over Greenland. The recent elections in Greenland saw the Democratic Party emerge victorious, advocating for a gradual approach towards independence from Denmark. Trump remarked that the election outcome was favorable for the United States, while Denmark has firmly stated that Greenland is not for sale.
