President Donald Trump insisted at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Wednesday, that he wouldn't use force to take Greenland but renewed his demand for the United States to take over "a piece of ice, cold and poorly located."
“That’s probably the biggest statement I made, because people thought I would use force. I don’t have to use force. I don’t want to use force. I won’t use force,” Trump said.
He continued his case by calling Denmark "ungrateful" and claimed the nation owed the U.S. for defending it during World War II, stating, “Denmark fell to Germany after just six hours of fighting, and was totally unable to defend either itself or Greenland. So the United States was then compelled, and we did it."
“How stupid were we to do that?” he added. “But we did it, but we gave it back. But how ungrateful are they now?”
Trump originally said he would speak about affordability and the economy, but kept veering his speech towards European allies who refuse to support his plans to take Greenland for national security reasons.
Last week, Trump threatened more import taxes on Denmark and seven other allies unless they negotiate a transfer of the semi-autonomous territory own
