The scenarios for a US acquisition of Greenland | DW News
US President Donald Trump has "actively discussed" purchasing Greenland from Denmark, the White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Wednesday. Since the start of his second term in January last year, Trump has repeatedly said the US needs to control the resource-rich Arctic territory, which is part of Denmark, for national security reasons. As a fellow member of NATO, Denmark is an ally of the US. Trump's insistence that Washington will take over Greenland "one way or another" has alarmed America's allies in Europe, particularly in the wake of the US attack on Venezuela. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said this week that a US attack on another NATO country would spell the end of the alliance and "therefore post-World War II security."What did the White House say about Trump's Greenland plans?
At a press conference, Leavitt said the purchase of Greenland was being "actively discussed" by Trump and his national security team, in response to a question about a potential offer to buy the territory from Denmark. "His team is currently talking about what a potential purchase would look like," Leavitt added. The White House spokeswoman repeated that Trump views the purchase as being in "the best interest of the United States to deter Russian and Chinese aggression in the Arctic region." Leavitt said that while Trump's "first option, always, has been diplomacy," the US president would not rule out using military force against Denmark because "that is not something this president does. All options are always on the table for President Trump," she said. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said separately on Wednesday that he plans to meet with Danish officials next week, after Copenhagen requested talks to address Trump's threats of taking over Greenland. Rubio did not specify when or where the meeting would be held.
