Investing.com -- President Donald Trump expressed his confidence on Thursday regarding the potential annexation of Greenland by the United States. During a meeting in the Oval Office, he communicated to reporters his belief that this development is likely to occur.

Greenland’s pro-business opposition party, Demokraatit, emerged victorious in the parliamentary election held on Tuesday. The party, known for its preference for a gradual approach towards independence from Denmark, was seen by Trump as advantageous for the United States.

Denmark, however, has previously stated that Greenland is not available for sale. The Danish government’s stance on this matter remains unchanged. Despite the U.S. President’s confidence, no official steps have been taken towards the annexation of Greenland by the United States.
