Trump Reiterates Greenland Annexation Goal During NATO Chief's Visit

President Trump declared the annexation of Greenland as inevitable, putting NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in an awkward position during Oval Office discussions.

Donald Trump reaffirmed his intention to annex Greenland, a Danish autonomous territory, stating, 'It will happen,' during a meeting with NATO's Mark Rutte.
Rutte distanced NATO from the topic, emphasizing he would not involve the alliance in discussions about Greenland's potential U.S. annexation.
The meeting comes as Greenland navigates political uncertainty following elections, aiming to form a coalition government to pursue independence and counter external interests.
Trump praised Rutte's leadership and credited his own policies for strengthening NATO, particularly by pushing member nations to increase their defense budgets.
The leaders also addressed the Ukraine conflict, with Rutte commending Trump's efforts toward a temporary ceasefire plan, despite unresolved details in negotiations.
