@dailyeconomy8 Video: Trump vows to seize Greenland ‘the hard way’ If Denmark won’t sell, citing Russia, China threat United States President Donald Trump has renewed his push to control Greenland, warning that Russia or China will dominate the strategic Arctic island without U.S. action. “If we don’t do it, Russia or China will take over Greenland, and we’re not going to have Russia or China as a neighbour,” said Trump. He further dismissed Denmark’s claim noting, “I’m a fan of Denmark but, you know, the fact that they had a boat land there 500 years ago doesn’t mean that they own the land.” He escalated, “I would like to make a deal the easy way. But if we don’t do it the easy way, we’re going to do it the hard way.” Trump also touted his NATO legacy, “I’m all for NATO. I saved NATO. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have NATO right now.”

The remarks echo Trump’s bid to buy Greenland, rejected by Denmark, amid Russia’s 40 Arctic bases and China’s rare earth mining investments—11% of global reserves vital for U.S. defense tech.
