Trump insists US ‘needs’ Greenland for international security

As vice president JD Vance visited Greenland on Friday (28 March), Trump was asked if the trip could mean a larger US military presence being deployed there eventually.

Trump didn’t answer the question, but told reporters in the Oval Office: “Greenland’s very important for the peace of the world.
