Donald Trump has not ruled out using force to seize Greenland from the kingdom of Denmark as tensions escalate between the US and NATO.
The president was asked in a telephone interview on Monday if he would use military force to take Greenland if a deal could not be reached over the Danish territory.
Trump gave a simple response: ‘No comment.’
Over the weekend, Trump ramped up pressure on European nations after he imposed 10% tariffs on Denmark and seven other NATO allies.
The tariffs will remain on the Europeans until a deal is made for America’s acquisition of Greenland.
Moreover, the president recently suggested in a private text exchange on Sunday with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre that his push to take Greenland is tied to his failure to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
