NEWS REPORT:

The White House has said the arrival of European troops in Greenland will not change Donald Trump’s ambitions to acquire the Arctic island.

“I don’t think troops in Europe impacts the president’s decision-making process or impact his goal of the acquisition of Greenland at all,” White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Thursday when asked whether recent announcements of European boots on the ground would affect Trump’s calculus.

Several European countries, including France, Germany, Sweden, Finland, Norway and the Netherlands, confirmed this week they are sending troops to Greenland to take part in a Danish military exercise — with some already on the ground. It comes after Trump’s press secretary held up ‘despicable’ images in a worrying press conference.

Estonia is also involved in the planning and “is ready to put boots on the ground if requested.” NATO is not participating in the drill, which is described as an inter-governmental exercise.

The U.S. president has repeatedly raised the possibility of using military force to take control of Greenland, claiming the territory risks falling under the influence of Russia and China.

After meeting with U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio at the White House on Wednesday, Denmark’s foreign minister said Denmark and Greenland “still have a fundamental disagreement” with Washington.

France signals military presence

French President Emmanuel Macron told the country’s armed forces earlier on Thursday that France would deploy land, air and naval assets to Greenland in the coming days.
