Details
This statement was made at the elite Alfalfa Club dinner in Washington. Trump later admitted that he was joking.
We are not going to invade Greenland. We will buy it. I never intended to make Greenland the 51st state. I want to make Canada the 51st state. Greenland will be the 52nd state. Venezuela can be the 53rd
According to the interlocutor of the publication, who was present at the event, Trump literally showered with "jokes."
There are so many people in this room that I hate. Most of you I like. Who the hell could have thought that something like this would happen?
The media notes that the White House chief's jokes caused a mixed reaction in the hall: some attendees laughed, but overall there was silence and pauses, which indicates the difficulty of perceiving such statements among an influential audience.
