US President Donald Trump confused Greenland, the island he wants to annex, with Iceland, four times, in the speech he delivered on Wednesday at the World Economic Forum in Davos, reports CNN.
NATO “loved me” until the “last days, when I told them about Iceland,” Trump stated at one point.
Later, he stated that NATO “was not there for us in Iceland.”
Referring to Tuesday’s stock market drop, fueled by the fear of NATO breaking up, Trump stated that “the stock market fell for the first time yesterday (Tuesday) because of Iceland.”
“So Iceland has already cost us a lot of money,” he explained.
The island that Trump wants to acquire is Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory, not Iceland, an independent country.
