Trump Administration Live Updates: President Says ‘You’ll Find Out’ How Far He’ll Go to Get Greenland

Trump administration live updates: President says 'you'll find out' how far he'll go to get Greenland. Donald Trump's threats have frozen America's relations with the Western world. How far are you willing to go to get Greenland? You'll find out, then do it again.

The threat is now so grave that, like the prime minister in Greenland, a non-combatant cannot be prime minister. Rejected. The European Union has warned that Trump's promise to impose tariffs on Europe is to push for the sale of Greenland.

could lead to a full-blown trade war. Both are determined to stay out of the strategic scenario.

I say to everyone, sit back, take a deep breath, don't retaliate. Don't retaliate. Yet Trump insists on pouring gasoline on the fire with a dangerous series of social media posts.

The Oval Office contained a doctored image of a map showing Canada, Greenland, and Venezuela under U.S. control.

who said he was determined to find a way forward on Greenland, and French President Emmanuel Macron, who told Trump he didn’t understand

What you were doing in Greenland, but we prefer the respect of the World Economic Forum bullies in Davos. But so many red lines are being crossed now.

that you have to choose between your dignity. Being a happy vessel is one thing. Being a miserable slave is another. Despite the risk of the Western alliance breaking up,

Trump insists there is no cost to going back to Greenland. I think we’ll do something where NATO is very happy and where we’re very happy,

But we need it for security purposes. On Wednesday, Trump will be in Davos, where Greenland will dominate his meetings and sideline talks.

But the US president seems unwilling to back down on the issue. And Donna, at this point, it is unclear whether anything could persuade him to change course. Jackson in Proco

Trump Teases How Far He’ll Go to Acquire Greenland: ‘You’ll Find Out’

Trump teases how far he'll go to get Greenland: 'You'll find out.' Go ahead. Oh, you told the Norwegian prime minister.

that you didn't feel a responsibility to think purely about peace because you didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize. Well, I've lost a lot of respect for Norway.

and I believe and I believe that Norway controls the Nobel Prize. But you have to understand that I've decided on wars. I've faced every one of those wars,

Every participant has written that I didn't tell them to do it. They sent strong recommendations. You know, they make recommendations for that.

But I decide on wars. No president has probably changed one war. I don't know. Think about it. I've made eight.

The reason I do it is that it's easy for me to do it. And it's not for the Nobel Prize. I did it because I'm saving a lot of lives.

I'm trying to make a final decision. I'm trying to make Russia Ukraine. And when Russia is ready, Ukraine is not. When Ukraine is ready,

Russia is not. But they're losing 25,000 people a month. And I'm trying to get to that. But no, I feel like Norway has a lot of control over

who gets the Nobel Prize despite what they say. Kevin Hassethas said he's going to look at the $2,000 tariff exemption, and it's up to Congress to decide whether to end it or not. Do you agree with Kevin Hassethas on that

Or do you think you can do it unilaterally? I don't think we'll have to go the Congress route, but you know, we'll find out. The reason we're talking about this

Is that we have enough money coming in from tariffs that we can issue at least a $2,000 dividend and pay down the national debt? Oh, but we give our people a $2,000 dividend.

You probably know that the income limit will be set where it makes sense, but we'll be able to do a lot more for our people. Uh, I'm sure we can do this without Congress.

“You’ll Find Out”: Trump on How Far He’d Go to Acquire Greenland

"You'll find out": Trump on how far he'll go to get Greenland, we're not being teased by every country in the world. Like we used to be.

We're doing numbers that no one ever thought possible. We're the richest, it's because of tariffs. And it's also an example of the right use of tariffs without tariffs.

Tariffs, they won't even talk to us about it. So we'll see what happens. I think it'll work out well. Right behind you.

Reporter: Thank you, Mr. President. How would you characterize your relationship with Emmanuel Macron and Keir Starmer right now, and have you spoken to them since your social post?

Trump: No, not mine, but I think I treat them very well. They always treat me well. They get a little rough when they are -

You know, when I'm away, but when I'm around, they're very nice. And - you know, I like both of them, they're both liberals,

They can kick you out of London, now you've been kicked out of the country. Problems, and if you look at Paris, there's been a lot of trouble.

They have two problems: immigration and energy. They had to stop with the windmills. And they had to go back to the UK. There's an incredible asset called the North Sea.

Norway uses it. Makes a fortune. They have the better part of it. And they don't.

They could straighten out their countries, and that would be nice. But I get along very well with them.

Trump: Are you from Norway? Reporter: No. Press. Trump: You'll be just as you are. He looks like he's from Norway.

Reporter: You told the Norwegian prime minister that you felt less committed to thinking purely about peace because you didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize.

PRES. TRUMP: I've lost a lot of respect for Norway. REPORTER: What's the impact of this prize not winning --pres. TRUMP: That Norway controls the Nobel Prize,

You have to understand, I've decided eight wars, I've decided every one of them, every participant wrote, I didn't ask them to do it, they

sent strong recommendations - you know, they make recommendations for that. But I decided on eight wars. No president has probably decided on one war. I don't know,

Think about it. Did I do eight? The reason I did it is that it's easy for me to do it. And I didn't do it for the Nobel Prize.

I did it because I'm trying so hard in life. Final. I'm trying to do Russia-Ukraine. And when Russia is ready, it's not Ukraine.

When Ukraine is ready, it's not Russia. But they're losing an average of 25,000 people a month. And I'm trying to get that. No, I think --

But I think Norway has great control over what they say they have great control over. How far do you want to go to get Greenland?

PRESS TRUMP: You'll find out. REPORTER: Kevin Hassett has said that he's going to look into the $2,000 tariff exemption. It's up to Congress to decide whether to pay it or not.

TRUMP: I don't think we're going to have to go the Congress route, but we'll figure it out. The reason we're talking about it is

That we have enough money coming in from the tariffs that we can issue at least a $2,000 dividend and also pay down the debt for the country. Income limit. Now your position is

Will the deal not go forward? TRUMP: I think they-- you know, when they were originally going to do it, they were talking about having some concept of ownership.

But now they're basically just taking a lease and trying to sell it, and I'm against that. You know it's nothing like Greenland, but it's a reasonably important area of the world. Not anywhere near Greenland, but I think.

They have to keep it. I don't know why they're doing it. Do they need the money? REPORTER: Mr. President. With your support of the Syrian government,

You've probably prevented another civil war and bloodshed in Syria. TRUMP: I did a good job. REPORTER: The Syrian government has had to use a lot of force to impose its power on certain areas over the last two weeks.

PRESS TRUMP: To keep prisoners, terrorist prisoners, some of the worst prisoners in the world; that's why they've been able to keep it -- they're working very hard,

The president of Syria is working very hard, very hard-working, strong man, man, very tough resume; but you wouldn't mind.

Come on, choir boy, get out there and do it.

I spoke to him yesterday because we were talking about prisons and what was going on. We have the worst terrorists in the world in those prisons, and they are watching. REPORTER: Gavin Newsom will be in Davos

If he is not already there. You are probably going to run on that platform for that. But what do you expect him to be?

Is it going to be a foreign policy platform?

TRUMP: I don't know. I don't know if he is going to the nominee. You know that. I had a really good relationship with Gavin Newsom when we were, you know, in office together. I was the president, and he was the governor of California.

We had a really - he talked about it a lot. And somewhere we got lost. Leaving people out, that has never happened before, but I hate the way it is run.

He and I had a really good relationship. Close to the word extraordinary. But it doesn't seem that way anymore. Reporter: You talked earlier -- Reporter: You've been hearing from allies --

A lot, President Trump. You talked earlier about the 2020 election. Now that Ahmadinejad Maduro is in the United States. He's been detained.

And he's been charged with a crime. Can you share more information about the Venezuelan software and the Venezuelan connection to the 2020 election tampering?

And would you consider speaking to Maduro, who is incarcerated in New York, in person, to get some answers about Venezuela's involvement in the 2020 election?

TRUMP: No, I don't think I would. I don't think my lawyers would be happy; they've learned some things. Please. Reporter: What about the threat of tariffs to Greenland if the Supreme Court rules against you on the tariffs?

And-- pres. Trump: I'll have to use something else. Reporter: Do you want to use force? Trump: Look at the word license and other things.

We have other alternatives. What we're doing now is the best, the strongest, the fastest, the easiest. The least complicated. Reporter: If you go ahead with the tariffs on Greenland

Then they have trillions of dollars in promises to invest in the United States. Trump: I doubt it. Look, they really need this deal with us.

They really do. They fought hard to get it, so I doubt it. But we'll see what happens. We have a lot of meetings scheduled in Greenland, as you know, I'm going tonight.
