President Donald Trump has said the U.S. will revisit its stance on Greenland in the coming weeks.

Asked if he expected to take action on the territory, Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday: “Let’s talk about Venezuela, Russia, Ukraine. We’ll worry about Greenland in about two months. Let’s talk about Greenland in 20 days.”

He added: “We need Greenland from a national security situation. It’s so strategic.”

    I propose a kind of peaceful ring exchange - Greenland to the US, Alaska to Canada, California to Denmark and Texas to Mexico. Yellowstone goes to the Vatican so they can prevent an eruption with prayers. The British kingdoms then go to Ireland, with the exception of Scotland, which goes to Bavaria because of cultural similarities.

    Have we forgotten anything? Oh yes. Russia goes to Ukraine. For reparations reasons alone.

      Don’t forget that Hawaii should go to Iceland due to volcanic brotherhood (and to give the Icelandics an opportunity to get a tan). And NYC goes back to the Netherlands if they’ll take it (think how expensive it would be to add all the bike lanes).

        We could rise an anti-fascist protection rampart between the democratic and the fascist states… some places even still have the towers, we just need to turn them around.

      As a german, I think this is an insult to all scottish people.

      do we need to keep the people who live in Alaska? because I get the impression they’re overwhelmingly supporters of rape

              don’t have any against Alaskans, all I did was comment on what I see. didn’t say fuck all about my own opinion.

              get some fucking reading comprehension, dumbass

              now if you mean opinions against MAGATs, well then yes I have opinions on them. but those are backed up, and so are not bigotry
