DW host Brent Goff: Greenlanders have an election tomorrow, Trump has repeated his call for the US to take over the island. Is there a Trump strategy here?

John Bolton: No, these are just random neuron flashes and he doesn't think through the consequences of what he says.

So let's just take Canada as an example, in the upcoming elections in a few months, up until Trump started opening his mouth, the Conservative party had a 20-point lead over the ruling Liberal party which has just elected a new leader and therefore a new prime minister. Since Trump began calling Canada the 51st state the margin has dropped to the point where the Liberals could win. This is all due to Trump, not because the Liberals have improved. Trump is aberrational, he doesn't even understand what he's talking about.

In respect to Greenland there are a number of things that could be done to take care of American and really NATO interests in keeping the Russians and the Chinese from exerting an undue influence in and around Greenland in the maritime domain and with regard to its mineral assets, but when Trump slaps friends publicly they react negatively, so I don't know what will happen in the Greenlandic elections.

I hope together with Denmark we can find a way through this, but this is the nature of the problem. It does not reflect a fundamental change in the United States, it reflects purely Donald Trump at the moment he is talking. Donald Trump doesn't even understand what NATO is or how it benefits the United States.
