Greenland and Canada Line up Against the Bully [View all]

“One way or the other, we’re going to get it,” President Donald Trump says of Greenland, the autonomous territory of Denmark that he covets for its mineral wealth and strategic position in the Arctic Circle.

He told a British broadcaster over the weekend that he sees “a good possibility that we could do it without military force.”

But if Greenlanders or the Kingdom of Denmark don’t understand the imperative of U.S. ownership of their land for the sake of world peace and security, Trump warns, he may have to resort to hostile means. “I don’t take anything off the table,” he said in the Sky News interview also aired by NBC.

The increasingly aggressive approach of the Trump White House to acquiring the world’s biggest island has so offended Greenlanders and Danes that no one in the government or business communities wants anything to do with the United States.
