“We will get everything we want. We are having some very interesting conversations,” Trump told the New York Post.
He indicated the U.S. could gain sovereignty over portions of Greenland by taking ownership of areas currently hosting American military facilities.
The President softened his tone regarding the potential acquisition of the Danish territory on Thursday after meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in Davos, Switzerland.
During the meeting, Trump announced they discussed the framework agreement concerning Greenland, which aims to address security concerns and counter the influence of Russia and China. The development underscores the growing importance of the Arctic as a potential flashpoint for geopolitical rivalry.
Meanwhile, the capital of Greenland experienced widespread power outages Saturday night after strong winds reportedly caused an unspecified accident.
