00:01U.S. President Donald Trump revived his claim that Greenland should be controlled by the United States.
00:07Arriving at the NATO summit in Ankara, Trump claimed Denmark hasn't sufficiently invested in the security of the semi-autonomous
00:14Arctic territory.
00:16Greenland doesn't help Denmark. Denmark doesn't spend money to really help Greenland.
00:23But it's an important part for the United States, and it's surrounded by China ships and Russian ships.
00:31Trump admitted that his previous statements on Greenland, especially with reference to the refusal to rule out military force to
00:38control the territory, had hurt relations with NATO allies.
00:42However, upon arriving in Ankara, the U.S. President doubled down on his criticism on the alliance's member countries, particularly
00:49for refusing to join the war in Iran.
00:51I was very disappointed with NATO, and frankly, if it weren't held in Turkey, where my friend happens to be
01:00a very strong leader, a very strong person, it's possible that I wouldn't have attended.
01:08Trump's statements came as NATO heads of state and government are gathering on July 7 and 8 for the alliance's
01:152026 summit in Ankara.
