“We need it. We have to have it.” Just 48 hours before an American delegation, headed by the vice president, JD Vance, trip to Greenland, Donald Trump has raised the pressure on the island. In an interview with the Podcaster Vince Coglianese, the US President has reiterated the need to annex Greenland. “We have to convince them. We have to have that land,” he said.
In relation to the visit, which has generated a diplomatic crisis not only with Greenland, but also with Denmark, Trump has stated that the objective is to “let the islanders know” that the United States requires their territory to guarantee international security. “It is an island that, from a defensive and even offensive position, we need,” he said.
Trump has also argued the geostrategic importance of Greenland in the fact that in recent times he has seen how Chinese influence has only been increasing.
Questioned about the opinion of the local population, Trump has recognized that the maneuver probably does not meet approval, but has subtracted importance.
JD Vance announced on the eve that he would join the trip he intended to lead his wife, Usha; A visit that local authorities have denounced for “foreign interference.”
