It’s the United States alone that can protect this giant, massive land, this giant piece of ice, develop it and improve it and make it so that it’s good for Europe and safe for Europe and good for us.
And that’s the reason I’m seeking immediate negotiations to once again discuss the acquisition of Greenland by the United States, just as we have acquired many other territories throughout our history, as many of the European nations have acquired.
There’s nothing wrong with it.
Many of them, some went in reverse. Actually, if you look, some had great vast wealth, great vast lands all over the world. They went in reverse. They stuck back where they started. That happens too. But some grow.
But this would not be a threat to NATO. This would greatly enhance the security of the entire alliance, the NATO alliance, the United States is treated very unfairly by NATO.
I want to tell you that. And when you think about it, nobody can dispute it.
We give so much and we get so little in return. And I’ve been a critic of NATO for many years, and yet I’ve done more to help NATO than any other president by far, than any other person. You wouldn’t have NATO if I didn’t get involved in my first term.
What does the United States get out of all of this work? All of this money other than death, destruction, and massive amounts of cash going to people who don’t appreciate what we do, they don’t appreciate what we do.
I’m talking about NATO, I’m talking about Europe. They have to work on Ukraine. We don’t. The United States is very far away. We have a big, beautiful ocean separating us. We have nothing to do with it.
Until I came along, NATO was only supposed to pay two per cent of GDP, but they weren’t paying. Most of the countries weren’t paying anything. The United States was paying for virtually 100 per cent of NATO. And I got that stopped. I said, ‘that’s not fair.’ But then more importantly, I got NATO to pay five per cent and now they were paying and now they are paying.
