Amidst the latest situation in Venezuela, US President Donald Trump has proposed to increase the defense budget to 1.5 trillion dollars. At the same time, the Trump administration’s comments on Greenland have intensified the political debate in Washington regarding national security, NATO and diplomacy. There are also speculations that America may use its military against Greenland.
America wants to acquire Greenland
At a White House briefing, Press Secretary Carolyn Levitt said the issue of the US acquiring Greenland is under active discussion between the President and the national security team. He linked it to stopping the aggressive activities of Russia and China in the Arctic region, but also made it clear that the President’s first priority has always been diplomacy.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that President Donald Trump has been talking about Greenland since his first term and this is not a new idea. He said that every American President keeps all options open to deal with threats related to national security, although America prefers diplomatic solutions rather than military action.
Will Trump send army to capture Greenland?
According to the CNN report, Caroline Leavitt said, ‘President Donald Trump has made it clear that the acquisition of Greenland is a national security issue of the United States and it is very important to stop our enemies in the Arctic region. The President and his team are discussing several options to achieve this goal, in which the use of the US military is always an option available to the Commander in Chief.
After America’s statement regarding Greenland, European leaders issued a joint statement in support of Denmark. This statement said that Greenland belongs to its people and the security of the Arctic should be ensured in collaboration with NATO allies, which includes America. France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, Britain and Denmark issued this statement.
