Reference News Network, January 20 report: According to the website of NBC News, on January 19, as tensions escalated due to U.S. President Donald Trump's efforts to annex Greenland, he was cautious in his wording about how much action he would take to control this Danish territory.
In a brief phone interview with NBC, when asked whether he would use force to seize Greenland, Trump said "I can't say."
Trump has increased his efforts to annex Greenland. On the 17th, he said he would impose a 10% tariff on Denmark and seven other European countries until an agreement on the U.S. annexation of Greenland is reached.
In the interview, Trump also accused European leaders of hindering his efforts to obtain Greenland, claiming that Greenland is crucial for maintaining U.S. national security and defending against external threats.
When asked whether he would implement the plan to impose tariffs on European countries if no agreement on Greenland is reached, Trump said, "I will, 100% I will." (Translated by Li Sha)
