WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump believes the United States should acquire Greenland to prevent it from falling under the influence of rival powers, the White House said.
Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt told reporters that the President views Greenland as strategically vital for US and European security.
“He said that he wants to see the United States acquire Greenland, because he feels that if we do not, then it will eventually be acquired, or even perhaps hostilely taken over by either China or Russia, ” Leavitt said.
