U.S. President Donald Trump has refused to rule out the use of military force to assert control over Greenland, another overture toward the strategic North Atlantic that is island likely to spark further anxiety among the Washington's unsettled allies in Europe.
"I don't take anything off the table," Trump told NBC News on Saturday, when probed on whether he would authorize the use of military force to take control of Greenland.
There is a "good possibility that we could do it without military force," he said.
The remarks came a day after Vice President JD Vance visited Greenland in a scaled-back visit with his wife, Usha Vance, touring the U.S.'s Pituffik Space Base in the northwest of the island, hundreds of miles from Greenland's capital, Nuuk.
While Vance said he did not believe "military force is ever going to be necessary," the vice president said the White House thought it would "be able to cut a deal, Donald Trump-style, to ensure the security of this territory."
Again, this will end with the Danes agreeing to a very large military/naval base on the island.
