"She's asking about Greenland, and I think the president was very clear last night. He said that he wants to see the United States acquire Greenland because he feels that if we do not, then it will eventually be acquired or even perhaps hostilely taken over by either China or Russia, which is not a good thing for the United States, or for Europe, or for Greenland, as well."
"Let's not forget it would not just be in the best interest of the United States, but perhaps it would be in the best interest of Greenland, as well, to be part of the United States. Trump's interest in Greenland has been largely one-sided. In an effort to convince Greenlanders to push for the acquisition, his administration is reportedly willing to offer citizens up to $100,000."
Karoline Leavitt asserted that the United States must acquire Greenland to prevent China or Russia from doing so. President Trump announced intentions to acquire Greenland at the start of his second term and renewed focus after the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, framing acquisition as a national security issue. The United States is obligated to protect Denmark under NATO Article 5. Leavitt argued that failure to acquire Greenland could lead to hostile takeover, harming U.S., European, and Greenlandic interests. The administration has reportedly considered offering Greenlanders up to $100,000 to encourage support for acquisition.
