The President of the United States, Donald Trump, reiterated his call to take control of Greenland, which provoked strong objections from Denmark and the European Union. "We need Greenland for national security, not for minerals," Trump expressed in dialogue with journalists at his residence in Mar-a-Lago, Palm Beach, Florida. Denmark will summon the US ambassador. According to a report by Xinhua accessed by the Argentine News Agency, Trump's statements came after a meeting with the press accredited to his administration. Trump claims that Greenland has no military protection. "They say Denmark is the owner. Denmark has not spent money and has no military protection," Trump added. Denmark is legally responsible for the defense of Greenland and maintains military capabilities related to the island. On Sunday, Trump announced the appointment of Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry as a special envoy to the United States for Greenland. "We have to have it (Greenland) and he (Landry) wanted to lead the offensive," revealed Trump.
