Trump Revives Greenland Purchase Idea, Suggests Military Option

Donald Trump and his team are actively exploring ways to acquire Greenland, with the White House stating that the use of the military is a possible option. This move has drawn strong reactions from European leaders and the Prime Minister of Greenland. Denmark, to which Greenland belongs, has urgently requested a meeting with the US Secretary of State. Trump insists that acquiring Greenland is a national security priority for the US, while the possibility of annexing Greenland could fracture relations with NATO.
