“United States (U.S.) President Donald Trump, in a recent statement, claimed that the U.S. needs to control Greenland for security reasons and suggested the use of force or economic pressure to achieve this goal.”

“President Donald Trump said in August 2019, during his first term, when asked whether the U.S. would be interested in acquiring Greenland.”
