"We're a great power," Trump said.
President Donald Trump, speaking Wednesday at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, said no other country can defend Greenland but the United States.
"I have tremendous respect for both the people of Greenland and the people of Denmark, tremendous respect. But every NATO ally has an obligation to be able to defend their own territory, and the fact is, no nation or group of nations is in any position to be able to secure Greenland other than the United States. We're a great power," Trump said.
The president contended Greenland is "sitting undefended" and said he is seeking "immediate negotiations to once again discuss the acquisition of Greenland by the United States."
