Trump repeats desire to buy Greenland in Davos speech

At the World Economic Forum in Davos, President Donald Trump gave a speech where he repeatedly stated his interest in the United States acquiring Greenland. He called it a 'piece of ice' and claimed he had formed a 'framework of a future deal' for the territory, while also dismissing the use of force to obtain it.

Trump's comments were part of a broader address where he also claimed credit for stopping wars, including between India and Pakistan. The renewed push for Greenland, which he has sought before, was a central theme of his appearance at the international forum.

The Danish government, which governs Greenland, has consistently and firmly rejected the idea of selling the autonomous territory. Trump's remarks in Davos reiterated a long-standing ambition that has been met with strong opposition from Denmark.
