WASHINGTON/DAVOS/COPENHAGEN, Jan 20 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald ‌Trump said on Tuesday there was "no going back" on his goal to control Greenland, refusing to rule out taking the Arctic island by force and lashing out at NATO allies as ‌European leaders struggled to respond.

But later Trump, who is due to join European leaders at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland, told a news conference that he thought, "We will work ‌something out where NATO is going to be very happy and where we're going to be very happy."
