Trump Says Nothing ‘Off the Table’ in Obtaining Greenland

‘We’ll get Greenland. Yeah, 100 percent,’ Trump said.

President Donald Trump said on March 29 that he has “absolutely” had real discussions about annexing the semiautonomous Danish territory of Greenland.

“We’ll get Greenland. Yeah, 100 percent,” Trump told NBC News in a phone interview on Saturday, adding that there’s a “good possibility that we could do it without military force,” but that “I don’t take anything off the table.”

Trump’s comments were made one day after Vice President JD Vance visited the island with his wife, Usha, and talked with service members at Pituffik Space Base, a U.S. Space Force Base on Greenland’s northwestern coast.

“Our message to Denmark is very simple—you have not done a good job by the people of Greenland,” Vance said during his trip.

NBC asked Trump what statement annexing Greenland would send to Russia and other nations worldwide.

“I don’t really think about that. I don’t really care. Greenland’s a very separate subject, very different. It’s international peace. It’s international security and strength,” he replied.

“You have ships sailing outside Greenland from Russia, from China, and from many other places. And we’re not going to allow things to happen that are going to be—that are going to hurt the world or the United States,” Trump added.

The Epoch Times has requested a full transcript of the call from NBC.

On Saturday, Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen scolded the Trump administration’s “tone” in its criticisms of Denmark and Greenland. He said Denmark is currently investing more in Arctic security and continues to be ready for more collaboration with the United States.

Rasmussen made the comments in a video posted on social media following Vance’s visit to the Arctic island.
