Washington (dpa-Afx)-US President Donald Trump confirmed in his speech to the congress of wanting to take control of Greenland. “We need Greenland for national security and even for international security, and we work with everyone involved to try to get it,” said the Republican about the island belonging to the Kingdom of Denmark. “I think we’ll get it one way or another, we’ll get it.” Very few people lived there, but Greenland was a “very large piece of land and very, very important for military security”.
Trump has repeatedly explained in recent months to want to take control of the largest island on earth. He also did not rule out military or economic compulsion. The Greenland government then repeatedly emphasized that the Kingdom of Denmark, but not want to become part of the USA
