Danish prime minister, EU reject Trump's Greenland takeover remarks The US president said taking control of the world’s largest island was “very important” for the US, but “it’s not important for Denmark". “Hitler beat them out in one day, took over, they asked us to take care of Greenland. In fact, we took Greenland, and then stupidly, we gave it back,” Trump said, according to Al Jazeera.
