The United States needs Greenland for national security, not for control of its resources. US President Donald Trump said this in a conversation with reporters at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
The White House emphasized that this is why the United States has appointed a special representative for this issue.
Responding to a question about the appointment of Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry as a special representative for Greenland, the US president noted that this appointment clearly demonstrates the exceptional importance that the United States attaches to the island.
