GREENLAND BREAKING: Trump ROARS Back at Europe Over Greenland | US President Gives Angry Speech - video Dailymotion

Oneindia

U.S. President Donald Trump crushed European hopes of easing the Greenland dispute, doubling down on his push to acquire the Arctic island despite European objections. Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Trump insisted Greenland could be a strategic U.S. asset and framed its potential transfer as reasonable, even as Europe pushed back strongly. While Trump pledged not to use military force, his threats of new tariffs and critiques of Europe’s economic policies have deepened rifts at a time of rising geopolitical friction.    #TrumpGreenlandCrisis #TrumpEuropeTensions #GreenlandDebate #Davos2026 #TrumpTariffs #EUUSRelations #GreenlandNotForSale #TransatlanticCrisis #TrumpDavosSpeech #EuropePushback #GreenlandSovereignty #USPolitics #InternationalNews #EUUSTradeWar #TrumpVsEurope  ~ED.194~HT.408~

00:00I have tremendous respect for both the people of Greenland and the people of Denmark.

00:05Tremendous respect.

00:07But every NATO ally has an obligation to be able to defend their own territory.

00:12And the fact is, no nation or group of nations is in any position to be able to secure Greenland

00:19other than the United States.

00:22We're a great power, much greater than people even understand.

00:25I think they found that out two weeks ago in Venezuela.

00:30We saw this in World War Two, when Denmark fell to Germany after just six hours of fighting

00:37and was totally unable to defend either itself or Greenland.

00:42So the United States was then compelled.

00:46We did it.

00:46We felt an obligation to do it, to send our own forces to hold the Greenland territory

00:53and hold it.

00:54We did at great cost and expense.

00:57They didn't have a chance of getting on it.

01:00And they tried.

01:02Denmark knows that.

01:04We literally set up bases on Greenland for Denmark.

01:09We fought for Denmark.

01:10We weren't fighting for anyone else.

01:12We were fighting to save it for Denmark.

01:16Big, beautiful piece of ice.

01:18It's hard to call it land.

01:19It's a big piece of ice.

01:22But we saved Greenland and successfully prevented our enemies from gaining a foothold

01:27in our hemisphere.

01:29So we did it for ourselves also.

01:32And then after the war, which we won, we won it big without us.

01:38Right now, you'd all be speaking German and a little Japanese, perhaps.

01:42After the war, we gave Greenland back to Denmark.

01:49How stupid were we to do that?

01:52But we did it.

01:53But we gave it back.

01:55But how ungrateful are they now?

01:57So now our country and the world face much greater risks than it did ever before because

02:05of missiles, because of nuclear, because of weapons of warfare that I can't even talk

02:12about.

02:13Two weeks ago, they saw weapons that nobody ever heard of.

02:16They weren't able to fire one shot at us.

02:19They said, what happened?

02:20Everything was discombobulated.

02:22They said, we've got them in our sights.

02:25Press the trigger.

02:25And nothing happened.

02:26No anti-aircraft missiles went up.

02:32There was one that went up about 30 feet and crashed down right next to the people that

02:37sent it.

02:37They said, what the hell is going on?

02:40Those defensive systems were made by Russia and by China.

02:46So they're going to go back to the drawing boards, I guess.

02:50Greenland is a vast, almost entirely uninhabited and undeveloped territory.

02:56Sitting undefended in a key strategic location between the United States, Russia and China.

03:04That's exactly where it is, right smack in the middle.

03:08Wasn't important nearly when we gave it back.

03:11You know, when we gave it back, it wasn't the same as it is now.

03:14It's not important for any other reason, you know, to everyone talks about the minerals.

03:18There's so many places.

03:19There's no rare earth.

03:21No such thing as rare earth.

03:23There's rare processing.

03:24But there's so much rare earth.

03:28And this to get to this rare earth, you got to go through hundreds of feet of ice.

03:34That's not the reason we need it.

03:36We need it for strategic national security and international security.

03:42This enormous, unsecured island is actually part of North America on the northern frontier of the Western Hemisphere.

03:50That's our territory.

03:53It is therefore a core national security interest of the United States of America.

03:58And in fact, it's been our policy for hundreds of years to prevent outside threats from entering our hemisphere.

04:06And we've done it very successfully.

04:07We've never been stronger than we are now.

04:10That's why American presidents have sought to purchase Greenland for nearly two centuries.
