US President Donald Trump has revived his claim from earlier this year that Greenland, the semi-autonomous Arctic territory of Denmark, “should be controlled by the United States”, apparently reversing months of diplomacy earlier this year to get him to drop the demand.
Trump made his remarks not long after arriving in Ankara for the annual two-day NATO summit.
“Greenland doesn’t help Denmark," he told reporters. "Denmark doesn’t spend money to really help Greenland, but it’s an important part for the United States, and it’s surrounded by China’s ships and Russian ships."
