Trump Refuses To Rule Out Military Option for Greenland | Libertarian Institute By Will Porter > President Donald Trump declined to rule out the use of force to take control of Greenland, soon after several European allies dispatched troops to the territory in an apparent warning to Washington. > Asked by NBC News whether he would use military force to seize Greenland during a brief interview on Monday, the US leader simply replied “No comment.” He previously hinted at a military option, saying last week that the United States would take the territory “one way or another.” > Further ratcheting up tensions over the issue, Trump additionally said he no longer felt “an obligation to think purely of peace” with regard to Greenland, according to a letter he penned to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store and obtained by Bloomberg. The president went on to blame the Nordic state for failing to award him with a Nobel Peace Prize, adding that “The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland.”
