US president repeats his desire for the territory as he mocks its defences as ‘two dog sleds’ and shrugs off impact on Nato
US president Donald Trump has repeated overnight that the US would take Greenland “one way or the other,” as he mocked its defence as “two dog sleds,” and stressed that otherwise Russia and China would move to claim the territory.
Speaking with reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump said that he was open to making a deal on Greenland in principle, but insisted “one way or the other, we are going to have Greenland.”
“If it affects Nato, it affects Nato. But you know, they need us much more than we need them.”
