Donald Trump ruled out using force to acquire Greenland as he called for immediate negotiations over his desire to purchase the island.

U.S. President Donald Trump has said repeatedly that he wants to acquire ‌Greenland, ​possibly by purchasing it from Denmark, despite the U.S. ‌ally's repeated insistence that it is not for sale.

"Based upon a very productive meeting that I have had with the Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte, we have formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland," he said.
