Trump Calls On NATO to Back Greenland Demands Ahead of Talks [View all]
(Bloomberg) -- US President Donald Trump repeated his demand for the US to take control of Greenland for national security reasons before a meeting of top diplomats in Washington and called on NATO to support his efforts.
“NATO becomes far more formidable and effective with Greenland in the hands of the UNITED STATES,” the president said in a social media post Wednesday. “Militarily, without the vast power of the United States, much of which I built during my first term, and am now bringing to a new and even higher level, NATO would not be an effective force or deterrent - Not even close! They know that, and so do I.”
Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen and his counterpart from Nuuk, Vivian Motzfeldt, will meet with Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio in an effort to convince the US administration that there’s no need to take over the Arctic island - a semi-autonomous territory under the Kingdom of Denmark. The meeting, scheduled to begin at 10:30 Eastern Time, is being cast in Danish media as one of the most decisive moments for the Kingdom since World War II.
