Trump has once again raised the issue of Greenland's potential annexation to the United States.

About this, Trump stated at a press conference at the Mar-a-Lago estate on Tuesday, January 7.

What Trump said about the acquisition of Greenland

"Donald Trump Jr. and my representatives from the Republican Party landed in Greenland. The reception was wonderful. They and the entire Free World need security, protection, strength, and peace! This agreement must happen. MAGA. Let's make Greenland great again!" — Trump wrote in his statement.

Despite this statement, Trump Jr.'s visit to Greenland was private and lasted only one day.

It is reported that no official meetings with local officials were planned. Trump Jr. jokingly remarked that he "does not plan to buy Greenland."

Furthermore, Trump later stated that he does not rule out the possibility of using military force or economic pressure to establish control over Greenland and the Panama Canal. His comment came in response to a reporter's questions about these locations.

"No, I cannot assure you that this won't happen. But I can say that we need these locations for economic security. The Panama Canal was built for our military and is vital for our country. It is currently operated by China, and we handed it over to Panama. We did not give it to China, and they are abusing it," Trump said.

As is known, the topic of Greenland's acquisition by the U.S. was first seriously raised in 2019 when Trump, while in office, mentioned the possibility of purchasing the island. This idea sparked significant international resonance and criticism, especially from Denmark, which includes Greenland.

Recall that at the end of December, Trump publicly expressed his desire to buy Greenland. As a result, Danish officials allocated record funds for defense.

Meanwhile, in Denmark, King Frederik X altered the country's coat of arms in response to Trump's statements about purchasing Greenland.
