In his latest Truth Social post, US President Donald Trump said the US 'needs Greenland' and 'NATO should be leading the way for us to get it'.
Trump posted this ahead of talks with Denmark and Greenland officials at the White House.
“NATO should be leading the way for us to get it. If we don't, Russia or China will, and that is not going to happen," he posted on his social media outlet, Truth Social.
“Militarily, without the vast power of the United States, much of which I built during my first term, and am now bringing to a new and even higher level, NATO would not be an effective force or deterrent - not even close! They know that, and so do I”, Trump wrote.
The US president’s renewed threat to acquire Greenland through coercive means came hours before foreign ministers from Denmark and Greenland were due to meet US Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio at the White House.
The meeting is taking place at the request of the Europeans, but Trump’s latest salvo signalling a meeting of minds is unlikely to materialise.
