President Donald Trump has said the U.S. will revisit its stance on Greenland in the coming weeks.

Asked if he expected to take action on the territory, Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday: “Let’s talk about Venezuela, Russia, Ukraine. We’ll worry about Greenland in about two months. Let’s talk about Greenland in 20 days.”

He added: “We need Greenland from a national security situation. It’s so strategic.”

        A fatal flaw they should have learned of from watching China’s buildup of their navy and asking themselves “why do they need that,” but they assumed the US Navy would always be protecting their interests and not threatening them.

        It’s like people don’t learn from history or something.
