Uri Geller has offered Donald Trump his own private island for use as a military base – and promised to come to his rescue if he starts a war with China. He reckons it could solve the Greenland crisis
Spoon bender Uri Geller has pledged to solve the Greenland crisis – by offering Donald Trump his own mystical island.
The mind reader, 79, has offered the tiny, rocky outcrop off Scotland’s east coast to the Orange Manbaby for use as a military base.
The sabre-rattling US president, also 79, wants to annex Greenland – which has an abundant supply of high-value minerals – even though it belongs to Denmark.
And he is said to be considering a military invasion of the world’s largest island “for security reasons” if other options fail.
But psychic Geller says his football pitch-sized rock, near North Berwick and home to hundreds of puffins, makes more sense as a military base.
He said: “I can solve the problem with Greenland. Adopt my Lamb Island as your 51st state and use it as a military base. Dock your navy and aircraft there – and if you get into a war with China, I will come to your rescue.
“Lamb is protected by mystical forces, and you will succeed with its power. All Greenlanders can become citizens of Lamb, so Denmark does not need to worry.”
The mystic bought the island in 2009 for £30,000, believing there is a connection between ancient Egypt and the uninhabited island, which measures just 330 feet by 160 feet, or 100 by 50 metres.
He has declared it a micronation with its own national anthem and has adopted North Berwick Amateurs FC as the island’s “national” team.
The former reality TV contestant added: “Lamb Island is blessed by supernatural powers. When I bought the island, I knew why I was buying it.
“America needs Greenland. There’s something in Greenland – I can’t tell you right now what is in Greenland because you will freak out, and it will blow your mind.
“Not only America but the whole world needs Greenland, and only Donald Trump and a few people know what it is. I know what it is, and that’s why I’m offering my Lamb Island to Donald Trump.
“People can attack me, I don’t care. There’s something in Greenland to do with Lamb Island – and it’s a wow.”
Geller stayed on Lamb for one night in 2010, along with his brother-in-law Shipi Shtrang and adventurer Andy Strangeway.
He described his experience on the lump of basalt rock as “hard, freezing and uncomfortable – but well worth all of the aches and pains”.
The trio were picked up the following day. As a marker, Geller left behind a crystal once owned by Albert Einstein.
US officials revealed on Tuesday that Trump is exploring plans to take over the Danish territory, sparking a diplomatic crisis as European leaders rallied round the Danes in a rare rebuke to Trump, saying Greenland “belongs to its people”.
