- The US President made the remarks while interacting with mediapersons during his meeting with the top oil and gas executives.
- In the context of Denmark, he said that landing a boat 500 years ago in Greenland "doesn't mean they own the land". When asked about Greenland, Trump said, "We are going to do something on Greenland, whether they like it or not, because if we don't do it, Russia or China will take over Greenland -- and we're not going to have Russia or China as a neighbour.
- I would like to make a deal the easy way but if we don't do it the easy way, we're going to do it the hard way". The new push to annexe Greenland comes after Trump's use of military force against Venezuela on Saturday to seize its President Nicolas Maduro. Trump previously made an offer to buy the island in 2019, during his first presidential term, only to be told it was not for sale. US officials have also discussed the idea of offering lump-sum payments ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 per person to Greenlanders to encourage secession.(With agency inputs)Get Latest News Live on Times Now along with Breaking News and Top Headlines from US News and around the World.
