The American leader called for the immediate start of negotiations on the purchase of the island. kommersant.ru.

"I'm asking for Greenland and all ownership rights. You can't defend a territory that doesn't belong to you," the American president said during a speech in Davos. "This huge, unprotected island is actually part of North America, located on the northern edge of the Western Hemisphere. This is our territory," said Donald Trump.

According to him, the United States has been helping NATO for years, ensuring the alliance's defense needs, although not all alliance countries have invested enough funds for these purposes. Now, Donald Trump said, the United States is asking for only one thing: to get Greenland.
