US President Donald Trump has said he "won't use force" to obtain Greenland, while describing it as "our territory" and calling for an "immediate" return to negotiations – although he refused to name his price for the island.

Trump directly addressed NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte before saying the US would not use "excessive strength and force where we would be, frankly unstoppable".

Has Trump really ended eight wars? Fact-checking the president’s claim

If there is anything Donald Trump covets more than anything else, it's the Nobel Peace Prize. The president has repeatedly spoken of how much he deserved it, and raged in public and private at the country of Norway, which he believes is responsible for not giving it to him.

(AP) "The group, in our view, should focus on how to address the American security concerns, while at the same time respecting the red lines of the Kingdom of Denmark," Danish Foreign Minister La...
