   Ummmm...no. The verb and the noun have DIFFERENT meanings.

   I see... ...so as long as he didn't use those words, he can't have said   
   anything that means the same thing?

   'During our call, Trump, who had just arrived at his golf club in West   
   Palm Beach, was in evident good spirits, and reaffirmed to me that   
   Venezuela may not be the last country subject to American intervention.   
   “We do need Greenland, absolutely,”'   
      
      
      
   Denmark has stated unequivocally that Greenland is not for sale.   
      
   So how do you think Trump will satisfy what he claims the US needs   
   "absolutely"?
