US President Donald Trump and his team are exploring multiple ways to acquire Greenland, a semi-autonomous Danish territory, including the use of the military, the White House revealed. The move is called a "national security priority." European leaders from the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, and Denmark issued a joint statement supporting Denmark, saying, "Greenland belongs to its people, and only Denmark and Greenland can decide on matters concerning their relations." These leaders stressed Arctic security should be handled collectively by NATO allies, including the US. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen warned that a US attack on Greenland would end NATO. Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen called for "respectful dialogue" respecting international law and territorial integrity. US officials mentioned buying Greenland or forming a free association as options. A senior US official told Reuters the use of military force is always possible at the President’s disposal. Stephen Miller, a senior Trump aide, said, "Nobody's going to fight the US over the future of Greenland." Most Greenlanders oppose becoming part of the US, despite having a US military base. Inuit resident Morgan Angaju said it is "terrifying" to hear the US treat Greenland as property. The discussions come as interest grows from Russia and China and new Arctic trade routes open due to melting ice. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said there are no invasion plans but buying Greenland remains on the table. Trump first suggested the idea in 2019, calling it a "large real estate deal."
