President Trump had a special message on Tuesday night for the “incredible people of Greenland,” whose island he has repeatedly expressed interest in acquiring — through a purchase or by force.
“We strongly support your right to determine your own future,” he said, briefly pausing during a speech to Congress to address Greenlanders directly. Then, with a confident nod, he added, “We will make you rich.”
Some members of Congress responded with a mix of applause, murmurs — and a few smiles. Greenlanders weren’t so enthused.
“It is up to us whether we become rich,” said Pele Broberg, the leader of one of Greenland’s major political parties.
