United States President Donald Trump sought to calm mounting tensions with Europe on Wednesday by saying the United States would not use military force to gain control of Greenland, even as he doubled down on his belief that only Washington can secure the strategic Arctic territory.
„People thought I would use force, but I don’t have to“, Trump told the World Economic Forum in Davos. „I don’t want to use force. I won’t use force.“ Still, he insisted that no other country or group of countries was capable of protecting Greenland, which is part of the Danish kingdom and home to about 57,000 people.
