"Greenland is imperative for national and global security. There is no turning back." Trump remains firm in his idea of taking over the island under the sovereignty of Denmark and has announced that he will meet at the World Economic Forum held in Davos, Switzerland, with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte to discuss Greenland.
He also asserts that "United States is by far the most powerful country in the world. Much of this is due to the rebuilding of our Armed Forces during my first term, a rebuilding that continues at an even faster pace." And he believes that the United States is "the only power that can guarantee peace worldwide. And it is achieved, simply, with strength!"
The tension in the area due to Trump's constant threats has led Denmark and Greenland to propose to Mark Rutte the establishment of a NATO mission around the island, after soldiers from several allied countries arrived in the area to carry out military maneuvers unrelated to NATO.
