White House: The Trump administration is "actively" discussing the possibility of purchasing Greenland.

On January 8th, Jinshi Data reported that White House Press Secretary Levitt stated that the Trump administration is "actively" discussing the possibility of purchasing Greenland, adding that Trump prioritizes a diplomatic solution but "remains open to multiple options." Following the US capture of Venezuelan President Maduro, Greenland quickly became a focus of international news, and Trump rekindled his interest in the Arctic island. Levitt stated that acquiring Greenland is "something the president and his national security team are currently actively discussing," and that Greenland is "beneficial to US national security." The EU responded by expressing its "full support and solidarity" with Greenland. European Council President Costa said, "Greenland belongs to its people. No decisions can be made on the issues of Denmark and Greenland without Denmark and Greenland."
