At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland on Wednesday, President Donald Trump repeated his call for U.S. control of Greenland, but confused the territory with its neighbor Iceland multiple times, and made a strange quip about being affectionately referred to as "daddy" by European leaders.
From the outset, Trump doubled down on his long-standing argument that the U.S. should have ownership rights over the vast Arctic island, a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark. In his address he stated that the United States must "own" the territory, tying it to national security and NATO concerns. However, despite earlier fears, he publicly said he would not use military force to achieve that goal.
