US President Donald Trump reiterated he does not think military action will be necessary to acquire Greenland, APA reports citing CNN.

“We’ll see what happens. The military’s not on the table. I don’t think it’ll be necessary. I really don’t. I think people are going to use better judgment, and use their best judgment, and I don’t think — that will not be necessary,” Trump said when asked what prompted him to take military action off the table, during a bilateral meeting with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Sisi also praised Trump for his role in reaching a ceasefire in Gaza.

“I re-emphasize it for our colleagues and before the media, but if not for President Trump, we wouldn’t have reached an agreement on the Gaza,” he said.

Trump said, “I appreciate what you said on Gaza, because it’s true. If we weren’t involved, there’d be no peace.”

He added if Hamas will be “taken out if they don’t get rid of the guns.”
