Trump Defiant on Greenland Annexation: “There is No Going Back”

DAVOS, SWITZERLAND – President Donald Trump has escalated his campaign for the U.S. annexation of Greenland, telling reporters and social media followers today that the move is “imperative for national and world security.”

Speaking ahead of his scheduled address at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Trump dismissed growing backlash from European allies who have labeled the move “neo-colonial.” Denmark and the semi-autonomous government of Greenland have repeatedly stated the island is not for sale. However, the White House has notably refused to rule out the use of military force to secure the territory. The President is expected to meet with NATO chief Mark Rutte in Davos later this week to discuss the escalating row, even as European leaders threaten retaliatory tariffs against U.S. interests.
