Trump on U.S. annexation of Greenland: ‘I think it’ll happen’

Trump defended that idea, saying the U.S. needs Greenland “for international security.”

The president’s comments came during a meeting in the White House with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.

A reporter asked Trump, “What is your vision for the potential annexation of Greenland.”

“Yeah, well, I think it’ll happen,” Trump replied.

The president then turned to Rutte and said “we’ll be talking to you,” adding, “it’s really an appropriate question.”

Rutte quickly said, “When it comes to Greneland, yes or no joining the U.S., I would leave that outside for me this discussion, because I don’t want to direct NATO in that.”
