Washington DC - President Donald Trump recently doubled down on his ambitions to take over Greenland, and once again refused to rule out using the military to do it.

On Saturday, President Trump did a phone interview with NBC News in which he said he has "absolutely" been having conversations about annexing the country.

"We'll get Greenland. Yeah, 100%," Trump said.

He went on to say he believes there's a "good possibility that we could do it without military force" but added, "I don't take anything off the table."

When asked what message he thinks taking the country would send to Russia and the rest of the world, Trump argued, "I don't really think about that. I don't really care. Greenland's a very separate subject, very different. It's international peace. It's international security and strength.

"You have ships sailing outside Greenland from Russia, from China, and from many other places. And we're not going to allow things to happen that are going to be – that are going to hurt the world or the United States," he added.

His remarks came a day after his Vice President JD Vance visited Greenland, during which he accused Denmark – which currently owns the island – of "underinvesting" in the country's people and security.

Vance also argued, "The president said we have to have Greenland... We cannot just ignore this place. We cannot just ignore the president’s desires."
