Donald Trump: Denmark must let us take over Greenland

– We need Greenland and the world needs to have Greenland, including Denmark. Denmark must allow us to take over Greenland. We'll see what happens – he said Donald Trump during the ceremony of announcing customs cars for foreign cars.

– if you look at the ships around Greenland: Z China, Russia (…) If we are not there, we cannot have national or international security – he added.

Trump replied in this way, among others to questions about the vice president planned for Friday USA JD Vance on the island. Vance and his wife will visit the Space Base, so that he announced – “check what is happening with security in Greenland.” At the same time, in the face of the opposition of local and Danish authorities, a visit to a wider delegation under the leadership of the second lady was canceled, which aimed to visit heritage facilities and watch the annual dog sled race.

In an earlier Wednesday interview with the right -wing journalist Vinc Cogliano, Trump said that Vance's mission would be to the Greenlanders that America “needs an island” and that “must have it”.

Answering the questions in the Oval Office, Trump once again defended his advisor to national security Micheal Waltz in connection with the organization and mistaken invitation of the journalist “The Atlantic” to a group chat on planning.

Trump said Waltz “took responsibility” for a slip -up, but stated that the scandal that broke out as a result of the disclosure of the discussion is a “witch hunt”. He also defended the boss Pentagon Pete HegeSetha, who posted a detailed plan in the chat in Yemen.

“HegeSeth does a great job, he had nothing to do with it,” he said.
