President Donald Trump said he would not seek to annex Greenland with military force but called for “immediate negotiations” aimed at a deal for the U.S. to acquire the Arctic territory, which both Danish and Greenlandic authorities have said is not for sale.
Speaking Wednesday at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, the president claimed the U.S. could have retained control over Greenland after deploying troops there during the Second World War to keep the island out of Nazi Germany’s hands.
