We respect the self-determination of the people of Greenland, but my argument again to them is I think that you’d be a lot better having — coming under the United States’ security umbrella than you have been under Denmark’s security umbrella.

But I think we are making a mistake. 3 percent of US trade runs through the suez. 40 percent of European trade does.

Team, I am out for the day doing an economic event in Michigan. But I think we are making a mistake.

Leaders in America and in Denmark ignored Greenland for far too long and that’s been bad for Greenland. It’s also been bad for the security of the entire world.

I think we are making a mistake… 3 percent of US trade runs through the suez. 40 percent of European trade does. There is a real risk that the public doesn't understand this or why it's necessary. The strongest reason to do this is, as POTUS said, to send a message…

I am willing to support the consensus of the team and keep these concerns to myself.

Speaking for President Trump, we want to reinvigorate the security of the people of Greenland because we think it’s important to protecting the security of the entire world.

I am not sure the president is aware how inconsistent this is with his message on Europe right now.

Excellent.

3% of U.S. trade runs through the Suez. 40% of European trade does.

The administration was making a mistake by launching the airstrikes at this moment.

We think we can take things in a different direction, so I'm gonna go check it out.

A lot of other countries have threatened Greenland, have threatened to use its territories and its waterways, to threaten the United States, to threaten Canada, and, of course, to threaten the people of Greenland.

Unfortunately, leaders in both America and in Denmark, I think, ignored Greenland for far too long.

3 percent of US trade runs through the suez. 40 percent of European trade does. There is a real risk that the public doesn’t understand this or why it’s necessary.

We have to honestly and aggressively attack the universities in this country.

I wonder whether President Donald Trump understood how a strike to ease global trade would contradict his America First policies.

I am not sure the president is aware how inconsistent this is with his message on Europe right now.
