(CNN) — The outgoing prime minister of Greenland on Thursday said he would summon party leaders to strengthen their rejection of US President Donald Trump’s plan to annex the island territory, following his most recent comments on the issue.

In an Oval Office news briefing with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte earlier Thursday, the president expressed confidence the US takeover of Greenland “will happen.”

Responding to a question from a journalist about his vision to annex the territory, Trump said, “I think it will happen.”

“We need that for international security. Not just security, international,” he continued.

Who the hell wants this shithole country. Otherwise known as trumplandia. He wants to be king of the world. If your child dies of the measles, too bad. If your great uncle Bob on the other coast who was injured in NAM is forced into homelessness because of VA cuts that’s just too bad. If your grandparents must move in with your parents because they no longer get social security it’s because billionaires need bigger yachts. And trump wants Greenland so he’ll finally have something big to brag about. Two cents worth from a sucker and loser.
