The White House on Tuesday confirmed what President Donald Trump has been stating openly and unapologetically: acquiring Greenland is a top national security priority for the United States, with all options, including military force, remaining on the table.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters on Monday, President Trump underscored the strategic urgency of Greenland\u2019s location in the rapidly militarizing Arctic, warning that America\u2019s adversaries are already exploiting the vacuum left by European inaction.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI will say this about Greenland: We need Greenland from the standpoint of national security. It\u2019s so strategic. Right now, Greenland is covered with Russian and Chinese ships all over the place,\u201d Trump said. \u201cDenmark is not going to be able to do it\u2014I can tell you that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Trump ridiculed Denmark\u2019s token security gestures, noting that Copenhagen recently attempted to \u201cboost\u201d Arctic defenses by adding one additional \u201cdog sled.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\u201cThey thought that was a great move. It\u2019s true\u2014they thought that was a great move,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Dog sledding in Denmark primarily refers to the elite\u00a0Sirius Dog Sled Patrol, a Royal Danish Navy unit that patrols remote Northeast Greenland.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI\u2019ll just say this: we need Greenland from the standpoint of national security, and the European Union needs us to have it\u2014and they know that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

WATCH:<\/h5>\n\n
<\/div>\n\n

The remarks triggered a sharp but hollow reaction from Jens Frederik Nielsen<\/span><\/span>, who declared \u201cthat\u2019s enough now,\u201d dismissing U.S. control of the island as a \u201cfantasy,\u201d according to the BBC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo more pressure. No more insinuations. No more fantasies of annexation. We are open to dialogue. We are open to discussions. But this must happen through the proper channels and with respect for international law,\u201d Nielsen added.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the White House left no ambiguity.<\/p>\n

The White House<\/span><\/span> confirmed that President Trump and his national security team are actively discussing multiple pathways to acquiring Greenland, including the potential use of U.S. military power if necessary.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrump sees acquiring Greenland as a U.S. national security priority necessary to \u2018deter our adversaries in the Arctic region,’\u201d the White House said in a statement to Reuters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe president and his team are discussing a range of options to pursue this important foreign policy goal, and of course, utilizing the U.S. military is always an option at the commander-in-chief\u2019s disposal,\u201d the White House added.<\/p>\n

During a contentious exchange on CNN<\/span><\/span><\/strong>, senior Trump adviser Stephen Miller<\/span><\/span><\/strong> made clear that this is not a new or off-the-cuff idea.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been the formal position of the U.S. government since the beginning of this administration\u2014frankly, going back into the previous Trump administration\u2014that Greenland should be part of the United States,\u201d Miller said. \u201cThe president has been very clear about that.\u201d<\/p>\n

During a tense exchange on CNN<\/span><\/span>, senior Trump adviser Stephen Miller<\/span><\/span> made it crystal clear that the administration\u2019s position is not new\u2014and not negotiable.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIt has been the formal position of the U.S. government since the beginning of this administration, frankly going back into the previous Trump administration, that Greenland should be part of the United States,\u201d Miller said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

\u201cGreenland has a population of 30,000 people,\u201d Miller said. \u201cThe real question is: by what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? What is the basis of their territorial claim? What is their basis of having Greenland as a colony of Denmark?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Miller emphasized that the United States, as the dominant power within NATO<\/span><\/span>, bears responsibility for securing the Arctic against hostile regimes.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cTo protect and defend NATO interests, obviously Greenland should be part of the United States,\u201d Miller said. \u201cNobody\u2019s going to fight the United States militarily over the future of Greenland.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
