NATO Would Be 'more Formidable' with US Control of Greenland, Trump Says
Trump demands US control of Greenland for national security and Golden Dome, calls NATO stance unacceptable ahead of White House talks.

Jan 14: U.S. President Donald Trump said anything less than Greenland “in the hands” of the United States was “unacceptable”, reiterating his demand for control of the Danish territory just hours ahead of a White House meeting on the issue.

“The United States needs Greenland for the purpose of National Security. It is vital for the Golden Dome that we are building. NATO should be leading the way for us to get it,” Trump wrote in a social media post.

“NATO becomes far more formidable and effective with Greenland in the hands of the UNITED STATES. Anything less than that is unacceptable,” he added.

In a follow-up post citing Russia and China, Trump wrote: “NATO: Tell Denmark to get them out of here, NOW! Two dogsleds won’t do it! Only the USA can!!!”
