White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said today that the military activities of European countries in Greenland have not changed the intentions of U.S. President Donald Trump for the Arctic island to become U.S. territory, CNN reported.
“I do not think that European troops influence the president’s decision-making, nor his goal regarding Greenland,” Leavitt emphasized.
Leavitt assessed that the meeting between U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio with the foreign ministers of Denmark and Greenland was “productive.”
She stated that the two delegations agreed to form a working group that will conduct technical talks on the acquisition of Greenland, adding that the talks could be organized every two to three weeks.
“The White House has made it clear that the president’s views on the acquisition of Greenland are a national security priority. Trump wants the United States to obtain Greenland because he believes it is in the interest of our national security,” Leavitt reiterated.
Denmark has warned that an attack on Greenland would mean the end of NATO, CNN recalls, adding that Germany, Sweden, France, Norway, and Finland have confirmed they will send their troops to the island to participate in a joint exercise with Denmark.
