President Donald Trump is insisting that he wants to “get Greenland, including right, title and ownership.” But Trump said Wednesday that he would not use force to do so while repeatedly deriding European allies and vowing that NATO should not try to block U.S. expansionism. In an extraordinary speech at the World Economic Forum, the president said he was asking for “a piece of ice” that was “poorly located.” He said the U.S. had effectively saved Europe during World War II and said Greenland was a small request compared to what the U.S. has given to NATO for decades.
