Trump also said, “The United States has been working for over 150 years to achieve this deal. Many presidents have tried and had valid reasons, but Denmark has always refused. Now, due to the ‘Golden Dome’ defense system and modern offensive and defensive weapon systems, the demand to acquire Greenland is especially urgent.”
