Trump Says U.S. Will 'Go As Far As We Have To Go' To Gain Control Of Greenland Ahead Of VP Vance’s Visit

Trump said the U.S. will “go as far as we have to go” to gain control of Greenland, according to ABC News. The president reinforced his ambitions ahead of Vice President JD Vance’s upcoming visit to the island. The U.S. delegation includes Vance, Second Lady Usha Vance, and Energy Secretary Chris Wright. Greenland’s Prime Minister Mute Egede called the visit “very aggressive” and urged international rebuke. Trump said the U.S. must control Greenland for security reasons, while Greenland’s leader rejected the idea, asserting the island's autonomy and refusal to be bought.
