President Donald Trump has said he believes the US will gain control of Greenland, after showing renewed interest in acquiring the autonomous Danish territory in recent weeks. "I think we're going to have it," he told reporters on Air Force One on Saturday, adding that the island's 56,000 residents "want to be with us".

United States President Donald Trump has given reasons he believes the US will gain control of Greenland. Recall that Trump had expressed his renewed interest in acquiring the autonomous Danish territory in recent weeks.

The people of Greenland would like to be part of the United States, President Donald Trump has indicated in remarks aboard Air Force One, journalists travelling with the president reported on Sunday.

President Trump wants Greenland, and he's reportedly making that very clear to its current ownership. The Hill reports that Trump had a "fiery" 45-minute phone call with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen on Jan.

President Trump isn’t taking “no” for an answer on acquiring Greenland. Although the self-governing territory and its colonial authority, Denmark, insist the island isn’t for sale, Republicans in Congress are backing the plan to expand America’s boundaries northward.
