President Donald Trump and his advisers are looking into “a range of options” for acquiring Greenland from Denmark, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement on Tuesday.
Following the Trump administration’s arrest of former Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro, Trump indicated to reporters that the United States could intervene next in such places as Colombia, Cuba, and Greenland. Trump began rekindling his administration’s rhetoric about annexing the Danish-controlled, largely arctic territory in December, citing its strategic location for national security. Leavitt left open the possibility of U.S. military intervention on the island in her statement Tuesday.
