Trump expresses interest in Greenland, drawing international reactions

President Donald Trump said 'we need' Greenland, a comment that drew a range of international responses. A poll indicated most Americans disagreed with the idea.

Denmark's foreign minister acknowledged Trump had a point regarding strategic threats to Greenland from China and Russia, while other reports noted a billionaire with interests in the territory had encouraged Trump. The Greenlandic Prime Minister received a warning from Trump after a perceived snub, and European nations, including Spain, debated their military commitments to the region amid the controversy.
