The United States and NATO will reach an agreement on the future of Greenland that will satisfy both sides, US President Donald Trump said at a press conference, quoted by Reuters.
Earlier in the day, Trump said that there was "no turning back" when it comes to the goal he has set for Greenland, and did not rule out the use of force to establish control over the island.
"I think we'll figure out something that will make NATO and us very happy," Trump stressed.
The US leader also said that the United States has scheduled a large number of meetings on Greenland at the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Switzerland this week.
Trump also said that his government has taken 50 million barrels of oil from Venezuela and that he is selling some of that oil on the open market.
"We took 50 million barrels of oil from Venezuela in the first four days. There are millions more barrels. We are selling it on the open market. We are bringing down the price of oil," Trump said at a press conference at the White House.
The US president also said that he was considering including Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado in some capacity in the government of Venezuela, but did not specify what role she would play.
"We are talking to her and maybe we will include her in some way. "I would be very happy if we could do that, Maria," said Trump, who last week met with Machado, who presented him with her Nobel Peace Prize.
Trump also said he had an important conversation with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
The United States is trying to protect the Kurds in Syria, Trump also said, in response to a journalist's question about protecting the rights of Syrian Kurds.
