Answer
Trump repeatedly states the U.S. will act on Greenland ownership 'whether they like it or not,' citing national security and the threat of Russian or Chinese control. He expresses willingness to act unilaterally, prefers a deal but is prepared for force, and claims Greenland should be part of the U.S. These remarks have sparked strong rejection from Greenland, Denmark, and European leaders.

Trump said, 'I'm not talking about money for Greenland yet. I might talk about that, but right now we are going to do something on Greenland, whether they like it or not, because if we don't do it, Russia or China will take over Greenland and we're not going to have Russia or China as a neighbor.'
