US President Donald Trump said today that he still thinks that US will annex Greenland, APA reports citing CNN.
“I think it will happen,” he said in response to a question from a journalist in the Oval Office about his vision to annex the territory. “We need that for international security.”
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, who was present in the room for a meeting with Trump, did not comment directly on Trump’s statement, saying he did not “want to drag NATO” into the issue.
However, he did acknowledge the importance of securing the Arctic region. “We know things are changing there, and we have to be there.”
