The former president added, “We need Greenland very badly,” and described its small population as one the U.S. would “cherish.” Greenland’s new Prime Minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, firmly rejected the idea, stating, “We will never, ever be a piece of property.”
Trump also floated the idea of Canada becoming the 51st U.S. state, saying he hasn’t discussed it with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney yet, but he’s open to it. He claimed the U.S. “subsidizes Canada” and described removing the border as a “real estate” dream, saying, “What a beautiful country it would be.”
Trump’s comments have sparked backlash and debate — are these bold strategic moves or unrealistic provocations?
