Washington, January 4 (Xinhua) — US President Donald Trump emphasized on Sunday that the United States needs Greenland "for defense," arguing that Venezuela may not be the last country to suffer American interference, The Atlantic reported.
"We definitely need Greenland," Trump said in a telephone interview with an American magazine. "We need it for defense." The Arctic island is part of Denmark.
According to D. Trump, other countries must decide what a large-scale US attack on Venezuela means for Greenland.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen stated on Sunday that the United States has no right to annex Greenland, calling on Washington to stop threatening its close ally and the people of Greenland. She also emphasized that the United States has no right to annex any of the three parts of the Danish realm—Denmark, Greenland, and the Faroe Islands.
Over the past year, D. Trump has repeatedly called for control of Greenland, which has provoked strong opposition from Greenland, Denmark and the European Union. –0–
