US President Donald Trump stated that Greenland is strategically very important for the USA and made a new threat to take serious steps and seize Greenland the ‘hard’ way, whether Denmark likes it or not.
Trump wants to take over the region, or he risks being taken over by Russia and China. “We are going to do something on Greenland whether they want it or not. Because if we don’t, Russia or China will take over Greenland and we won’t have Russia or China as neighbors,” Trump told reporters at the White House.
He also threatened Denmark, saying: ‘I’d like to make a deal the easy way, but if we don’t do it the easy way, we’ll do it the hard way.’ Criticizing Denmark for failing to ensure water security around Greenland, he said that landing a boat in Greenland 500 years ago (referring to Denmark) “does not mean they own the land”.
He added: “We need it because if you look outside Greenland right now, these are Russian destroyers, Chinese destroyers and bigger ones, there are Russian submarines everywhere. We’re not going to let Russia or China invade Greenland, and if we don’t, that’s what they’re going to do. We’re going to do something with Greenland, either the good way or the hard way.”
Why does Donald Trump want to ‘own’ Greenland?
Greenland, a semi-autonomous region of Denmark, is rich in minerals, uranium and iron. Donald Trump has He reiterated that Greenland needed to be annexed to defend it against external powers, which Denmark failed to do.
‘When we have it, we defend it,’ he said. You can’t defend leases in the same way. You must have it. Countries must have property, and you defend property. You are not defending lease agreements. If we don’t, China or Russia would be fine. This will not happen… NATO needs to understand this. I am completely in favor of NATO. I saved him. “If it weren’t for me, NATO wouldn’t be there.”
