Trump listed the reasons for Greenland joining the United States

Greenland's accession to the United States is necessary to ensure national and international security. This was announced on March 26 by the American President Donald Trump.

In his opinion, the acquisition of Greenland by the United States meets the interests of Denmark.

"We need Greenland, and the world needs Greenland to be with us, including Denmark. Denmark needs Greenland to be with us," Trump said.

However, the American leader admitted that he did not know if the residents of Greenland had a desire to join, but he noted that "they need to be convinced" to become American citizens.

On March 13, during a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte at the White House, the American leader said that Greenland, which is now part of Denmark, will inevitably join the territory of the United States, as this is due to the international security of the region. Trump also expressed doubt that Denmark has the right to own an autonomous region, since the country is "very far away" from Greenland.
