US President Donald Trump warned during his UN speech that he would 'annihilate' Iran if Tehran failed to reach a deal to end the Middle East conflict, while also highlighting a recent agreement with Denmark and Greenland aimed at strengthening Arctic security.
Trump's remarks came during a 37-minute address at the UN General Assembly in New York, where he also announced a new military presence in Greenland, despite the island's potential for independence. The agreement, signed alongside Denmark, allows for expanded U.S. military operations in the region.
The deal includes the potential establishment of new military bases in Greenland and the modernization of existing U.S. military installations there. The agreement is designed to ensure continued U.S. military presence in the Arctic, even if Greenland eventually seeks independence.
The speech also included threats against Iran, with Trump stating he would take 'annihilation' measures if Tehran did not comply with a potential peace agreement. The comments have raised concerns about regional stability and the potential escalation of conflict in the Middle East.
