Trump pledges to address Russian activity near Greenland, drawing international reactions

President Donald Trump has repeatedly stated he will take action to remove what he calls a 'Russian threat' from Greenland. He linked this stance to a past snub for the Nobel Peace Prize in leaked text messages.

The Kremlin responded rhetorically, with an envoy saying Trump would 'go down in world history' if the U.S. were to take Greenland and mocking European powers over the dispute. Chinese leader Xi Jinping was reported to have criticized Trump for using China to stoke fears about Greenland.
