President Donald Trump mocked the Kingdom of Denmark for allegedly increasing security around Greenland, telling reporters on Sunday that the country merely “added one more dog sled.”

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, the president answered questions about the implications of his military action that captured Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife on Friday. Though the president reiterated his claims that America “needs” Greenland in the aftermath of Maduro’s arrest, he reacted with surprise when pushed on the topic by a reporter on Sunday.

“How did we come up to Greenland?” said Trump, when asked about possible U.S. action. “Well, I don’t want to talk about Greenland. Let’s talk about Venezuela, Russia, Ukraine. We’ll worry about Greenland in about two months. Let’s talk about Greenland in 20 days.”

Rather than move on from the topic, however, the president continued on the subject, telling reporters once again about America’s strategic need for Greenland. “By the way, I will say this about Greenland. We need Greenland from a national security situation. It’s so strategic. Right now, Greenland is covered with Russian and Chinese ships all over the place,” he said. “We need Greenland from the standpoint of national security, and Denmark is not going to be able to do it, I can tell you that.”
