United States President Donald Trump on Wednesday said that the US would not use force to take control of Greenland, but reiterated his demand that Washington be given “ownership” of the Danish territory.

“We probably won’t get anything unless I decide to use excessive strength and force where we would be, frankly, unstoppable, but I won’t do that,” Trump said at the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland. “Now everyone’s saying, oh, good. That’s probably the biggest statement I made, because people thought I would use force.”

He added: “I don’t have to use force. I don’t want to use force. I won’t use force.”

Greenland is a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark, a US ally.
