President Donald Trump on Monday said the United States would talk about acquiring Greenland at this week's Davos World Economic Forum because Denmark cannot protect the territory.
"We have to have it. They have to have this done. They can't protect it, Denmark, they're wonderful people," Trump told reporters in Florida. "I know the leaders, they're very good people, but they don't even go there."
