The , according to a relevant position of the representative of Caroline Leavitt, announced that it is considering the possibility of an agreement for the purchase of Greenland, as reported by the Reuters agency.
White House spokeswoman Caroline Levitt stressed that discussions about the island are ongoing between the president and the National Security team. As he explained, diplomacy will take priority, but “all options remain open.”
Meeting with Danish officials next week
At the same time, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that he will meet with representatives of Denmark next week, underscoring that Trump has repeatedly expressed his intention to put Greenland under US control.
Responding to questions about the possibility of military action that would jeopardize the NATO alliance, Rubio pointed out: “If the president identifies a threat to the national security of the United States, he reserves the right to address it with military means. But as a diplomat, we always prefer to resolve issues in a peaceful way — and the same applies to Venezuela.”
Reactions from EU
The European Union will support Greenland and Denmark when needed and we will not accept violations of international law wherever they occur, European Council President Antonio Costa said today.
“On Greenland, let me be clear: Greenland belongs to its people. Nothing can be decided for Denmark and Greenland without Denmark and without Greenland,” Costa said in a speech marking Cyprus taking over the rotating EU presidency.
“They have the full support and solidarity of the European Union,” he said.
Costa said Cyprus is taking over the reins of the EU Council at a time when the international rules-based order is under attack and urged EU member states to resist these developments.
“The European Union cannot accept violations of international law, whether in Cyprus, Latin America, Greenland, Ukraine or Gaza. Europe will remain a firm and unwavering defender of international law and multilateralism,” Costa said.
