Trump added that he would not use force to acquire the autonomous territory of Denmark. “People thought I would use force, but I don’t have to use force,” he said. “I don’t want to use force. I won’t use force.” Trump said the United States was seeking title and ownership of Greenland because, he argued, “you need the ownership to defend it”. Support stories that matter.
