Trump says won’t use force to take Greenland
US President Donald Trump says he wil not use force to take control of Greenland, an autonomous territory of Washington’s ally Denmark, but insists the United States must still have “ownership” of it.
“We probably won’t get anything unless I decide to use excessive strength and force where we would be, frankly, unstoppable, but I won’t do that. Okay. Now everyone’s saying, Oh, good. That’s probably the biggest statement I made, because people thought I would use force,” he tells world leaders at a summit in Davos.
“I don’t have to use force. I don’t want to use force. I won’t use force.”
