US President Donald Trump has been discussing "a range of options" to acquire Greenland, including the use of the military, the White House said, APA reports, citing BBC.
The White House told the BBC that acquiring Greenland - a semi-autonomous region of fellow NATO member Denmark – was a "national security priority."
The statement came hours after European leaders issued a joint statement rallying behind Denmark, which has been pushing back against Trump's ambitions for the Arctic island.
Trump repeated over the weekend that the US "needed" Greenland for security reasons, prompting Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen to warn that any attack by the US would spell the end of NATO.
The White House said on Tuesday: "The president and his team are discussing a range of options to pursue this important foreign policy goal, and of course, utilizing the US military is always an option at the Commander-in-Chief's disposal."
