Donald Trump recently made significant remarks in a New York Times interview, asserting that 'my own morality' and 'my own mind' are the sole constraints on his global power, rather than international law. He explicitly stated, 'I don't need international law,' though he later added that his administration would abide by it, qualifying that 'it depends what your definition of international law is.' These comments have been widely reported by numerous credible news outlets, including People.com, The Straits Times, The Times of Israel, and The Independent. During the same interview, Trump also reiterated his long-standing interest in acquiring Greenland, emphasizing the importance of 'ownership' for national security and psychological success. This renewed push for the Danish autonomous territory comes after his initial proposition in 2019 was rejected, with Greenlandic and Danish officials firmly stating that Greenland is not for sale. Trump's latest remarks, which included not ruling out the use of force to bring Greenland under U.S. control, have caused considerable alarm among European leaders and have been perceived as a threat, further straining international relations and raising questions about the future of global norms and alliances like NATO. The statements were made days after a U.S. military operation in Venezuela, adding to concerns about a shift in international behavior.
