PRESIDENT Trump has insisted the US will take over Greenland as he continues his land grabbing plans, reportedly sending the Danes into "crisis mode". His determined statement about the autonomous Danish territory came just days after a fiery phone call between him and Denmark's Prime Minister.

Trump boasted that the people of Greenland wanted to be part of the US, he told reporters in Air Force One on Saturday. The President said: "I think the people want to be with us.". Trump has been putting the pressure on PM Mette Frederiksen as he floated the takeover plans before his second go at The White House.

Despite reportedly being told to "f*** off" by the Danes, the President continued his claims on the ice island. He added on Saturday: "I don't really know what claim Denmark has to it, but it would be a very unfriendly act if they didn't allow that to happen because it's for the protection of the free world.
"I think Greenland we'll get because it has to do with freedom of the world. "It has nothing to do with the United States other than that we're the one that can provide the freedom. They can't.". Despite Trump's determination PM Frederiksen insisted Greenland was not for sale or up for grabs.

The pair reportedly had an explosive and aggressive 45-minute phone call last week, according to the Financial Times. Conversations between the leaders have turned sour despite Frederiksen agreeing to be more co-operative with army bases and mining. Several European officials revealed the reported hostility in last week's phone call.
