Donald Trump repeated on Thursday that the United States will annex Greenland, while cheering the Arctic island’s election result.

“I think it will happen,” said the U.S. president, when asked about his vision for the potential annexation of Greenland during an Oval Office meeting with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte.

“We need that [Greenland] for international security,” Trump said, adding that he’s confident Rutte would play an “instrumental” role.
