“I’m not saying I’m going to do it, but I don’t exclude any possibility,” he told the American channel.
“We desperately need Greenland […] We will take care [de sa population] And cherish it, but we need it for international security, “he added.
The desire of 47e President of American to annex Greenland raised questions on the security of the semi-autonomous territory of Denmark, while the United States, Russia and China all covet the Arctic.
Trump, however, mentioned that the use of military force to annex Canada and make it on 51e American state was “strongly improbable”.
“I must be honest with you, I don’t see it with Canada. I just don’t see it, ”he said.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is expected at the White House on Tuesday.
