Trump ‍also said he had ‍agreed to a ‌meeting of various parties in ‍Davos, Switzerland, ​at the World Economic Forum. He ⁠did not specify who the various ‌parties were.

"As I expressed to everyone, ⁠very plainly, ‍Greenland is imperative for National and World Security. There ‍can be no going ‌back - On that, everyone agrees!" he said in a post on Truth Social.

Trump had earlier told reporters the United States would talk about acquiring Greenland at ‌this week's World Economic Forum because Denmark cannot protect the territory.
