President Donald Trump has declared that the United States will take Greenland 'one way or another,' brushing aside assurances from Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and sparking alarm across NATO capitals.
Speaking aboard Air Force One on Tuesday, Trump told reporters that Greenland was 'essential' for US national security and warned that if Washington did not act, 'Russia or China will take over' the Arctic territory. His remarks, reported by the Express, underline a dramatic escalation in rhetoric that has left European allies scrambling for a response.
