During his joint appearance with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan yesterday, President Donald Trump once again said Greenland should be under US control. “That should be controlled by the United States, not by Denmark,” he said. According to Trump, Greenland is “an important part [of the world] for the United States.” “It’s surrounded by China’s ships and Russian ships,” he claimed, reported TASS.
Trump said disagreements over Greenland’s status are worsening relations between the United States and other NATO members. “That’s what hurt my relationship with NATO,” he claimed, referring to Washington’s plans to establish control over the territory. According to the US leader, “Greenland doesn’t help Denmark.” “Denmark doesn’t spend money to really help Greenland,” he added.
