President Trump restated his belief this week that Greenland will eventually become part of the United States. “I think it’ll happen,” Trump said when asked by a reporter about the possible U.S. annexation of the massive but sparsely populated Arctic island during an Oval Office meeting with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte on Thursday.

President Donald Trump told NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte on Thursday that U.S. control of Greenland is necessary to enhance international security, escalating his campaign to annex the strategic Arctic island.

London – All five parties in Greenland’s parliament issued a joint statement on Friday rejecting President Donald Trump’s latest effort to take control of the strategic Arctic island. The statement was issued by the leaders of all five parties that won seats in parliament in an election held earlier this week.
