Donald Trump repeated his interest in acquring Greenland, issuing a new thinly-veiled threat at the territory, the kingdom it is part of and the wider NATO alliance.
He said: "Right now, we are going to do something on Greenland, whether they like it or not because if we don't do it Russia or China will take over Greenland, and we're not going to have Russia or China as a neighbour. Okay? I would like to make a deal, you know, the easy way. But if we don't do it the easy way, we're going to do it the hard way."
The response came after the US President was asked about the territory and how much money he had offer Denmark for it. Mr Trump said he isn't talking about money "yet", but he "might talk about that".
