Greenland deal would allow US to do ‘whatever we want,’ Trump says

President Donald Trump said the US could do “whatever we want” when asked whether the prospective Greenland deal would allow the US to control land in the Arctic island CNN reports.

When he was asked whether the deal would include new pockets of US sovereignty, Trump offered a nonspecific response.

“We have a lot of great things in the deal,” he said, adding it would also be positive for Europe and that NATO would be heavily involved.

“We’ll have something in two weeks,” he said. “There’s a good spirit to get something done.”

Trump said a deal would be “much more generous” than existing agreements stipulating the US presence in Greenland.
