A senior aide to Donald Trump has claimed that US could take Greenland by force, arguing global politics is ruled by power, not international law.
Speaking to CNN host Jake Tapper on Monday, Stephen Miller, Trump’s deputy chief of staff, said Greenland should be part of the United States and dismissed the idea that Washington would face resistance if it moved to seize the semiautonomous Danish territory.
“We live in a world, in the real world, Jake, that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power,” he said. “These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time.”
He added: “Nobody is going to fight the United States militarily over the future of Greenland.”
