Jan. 20 (UPI) -- At a White House press briefing Tuesday afternoon, a reporter asked President Donald Trump how far he's willing to go to acquire Greenland: "You'll find out," he responded.
Trump spoke to a packed White House press room for two-and-a-half hours, mostly boasting about his accomplishments in the past year, immigration, the Nobel Peace Prize, Immigrations and Customs Enforcement arrests and former President Joe Biden. At the end of the press conference, he took questions.
A reporter said that taking Greenland could mean the breakup of NATO and asked "Is that the price you're willing to pay?"
"I think something's going to happen that's going to be very good for everybody," Trump said. "Nobody's done more for NATO than I have, as I said before, in every way. Getting them to go up to 5% of GDP was something nobody thought was possible. And pay. At 2% they weren't paying. At 5% they are paying," he said, referencing his push to get NATO members to spend 5% of their gross domestic product on defense.
"They are buying a lot of things from us, and I guess giving them to Ukraine," apparently talking about military assets.
