Donald Trump doubles down on Greenland & says territory is 'in our future'

President Donald Trump on Monday (March 24) doubled down on his suggestion that the U.S. should take over Greenland as leaders from the semi-autonomous Danish territory criticised a planned trip there this week by a high-profile U.S. delegation.

"I think Greenland is going to be something that maybe is in our future," Trump told reporters after a meeting with officials in his Cabinet, saying it was important for U.S. national security.

Greenland's outgoing Prime Minister Mute Egede called plans by the U.S. delegation to visit an American military base and attend a dog sled race a "provocation," and said his caretaker government would not meet with the group.

Trump said his administration was working with "people in Greenland" who want something to happen, but did not elaborate.

"They're calling us," he said. "We're not calling them," Trump said.

The U.S. visit, which runs from Thursday to Saturday, will be led by Usha Vance, wife of Vice President JD Vance, and include White House National Security Adviser Mike Waltz and Energy Secretary Chris Wright.

Trump has made U.S. annexation of Greenland a major talking point since his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., paid a private visit to the vast, mineral-rich island in January.
