U.S. President Donald Trump renewed his push for Washington to acquire Greenland, downplaying Denmark’s role and warning the Arctic island risks falling under Russian or Chinese influence. He said no formal offer was made but insisted Greenland should agree for its own security.

Trump said the U.S. must act to block rivals, mocking Denmark’s defenses as inadequate. He argued American control would ensure stability and prevent Moscow or Beijing from gaining a strategic foothold.

00:00One group taking your threats very seriously is Greenland.
00:04Are you still thinking of military action there, or is there anything that can...
00:07What, where, military action?
00:08Greenland.
00:09Greenland.
00:10Is there anything they can offer you for a deal?
00:12If we don't take Greenland, Russia or China will.
00:15And I'm not letting that happen.
00:17If we don't take Greenland, Russia or China will take Greenland.
00:22And I am not going to let that happen.
00:23Is there any deal they can offer you?
00:25Yeah, sure, I'd love to make a deal with them.
00:28It's easier.
00:28But one way or the other, we're going to have Greenland.
00:32Are you okay if that compromises NATO?
00:35If NATO effectively ceases to...
00:38Oh, I've done a great job.
00:39I'm the one that saved NATO.
00:40I'm the one that got them to pay 5.5% of GDP.
00:45Wait a minute.
00:46It was 2%, 2%, and they didn't pay.
00:48Now they're paying 5%.
00:49I'm the one that saved NATO.
00:51You wouldn't have NATO if I weren't president.
00:54Would you pull the U.S. out of NATO?
00:56Would you consider doing that?
00:57Well, maybe NATO would be upset if I did it.
01:00Maybe NATO would save a lot of money.
01:03But I like NATO.
01:04I just wonder whether or not, if we needed NATO, would they be there for us?
01:08I'm not sure they would.
01:09You know, we spent a lot of money on NATO.
01:12And I'm not sure they would.
01:13But what would you think...
01:14Now, what's happened is, as you know, Slippy Joe Biden gave $350 billion to Ukraine and got nothing for it.
01:22I got rare earth back.
01:24I got, I think, value back far greater than that.
01:27But that's what he should have done.
01:29Now, if you look at what's going on with respect to NATO, we have a very good relationship.
01:33Five percent GDP, and they pay us.
01:37We send them military equipment, and they pay us back the full cost of the equipment.
01:42The war, we make money with the war, but I don't even want to talk about that.
01:46I want to save the lives.
01:48They're Russian and Ukrainian lives.
01:50I want to save the lives.
01:52That's the only reason I'm doing it.
01:53This is Biden's war.
01:55It should have never happened.
01:56It would have never happened if I were president.
01:58This is Biden's war.
01:59It's not Trump.
02:00All I can do is stop it.
02:02And I think we're making progress toward stopping it, which would be number nine and a quarter.
02:07You know what the quarter is, right?
02:09Right?
02:10Thailand and Cambodia went at it again.
02:14But I got to stop very quickly.
02:16I consider that one quarter of a war.
02:19Have you made a tangible offer to Greenland yet?
02:22Have you made an actual offer to Denmark?
02:24I haven't done that, but Greenland should make the deal, because Greenland does not want
02:28to see Russia or China take over.
02:31They don't go there.
02:32It's very far away from Greenland.
02:34And Greenland, basically, their defense is two dog sleds.
02:37Do you know that?
02:38Do you know what their defense is?
02:40Two dog sleds.
02:41In the meantime, you have Russian destroyers and submarines, and China destroyers and submarines
02:48all over the place.
02:50We're not going to let that happen.
02:52And if it affects NATO, then it affects NATO.
02:55But, you know, they need us much more than we need them.
02:57I will tell you that right now.
02:59Mr. President, are you going to agree more on a military basis?
03:01That's a war that should have never happened with Ukraine.
03:04The U.K. and Germany are discussing plans for a joint NATO mission to protect Arctic security
03:10in Greenland.
03:11Does that change your calculus at all?
03:13No, look, look, we're talking about acquiring, not leasing, not having it short-term.
03:19We're talking about acquiring.
03:20Does that require the U.S.
03:22And if we don't do it, Russia or China will.
03:25And that's not going to happen when I'm president.
03:27Are you going to increase the amount of military bases on Greenland in the meantime?
03:31We have bases on Greenland.
03:32Are you going to make new more?
03:34We're going to put a lot of soldiers there right now.
