Trump “considering using military” to take Greenland says White House | BBC News
The White House has said President Trump is considering using the US military to acquire Greenland. It said that doing so was a “national security priority” for his administration and it is considering a range of options to secure that goal.
Donald Trump recently stated that the US “needed” Greenland – a semi-autonomous region of fellow Nato member Denmark – for security reasons. He has repeatedly insisted that it must come under US control.
The latest White House statement came shortly after European leaders rallied behind Denmark, whose Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen, has warned that any attack by the US on Greenland would spell the end of Nato. Under the rules of the military alliance allies are expected to go to each other’s aid in case of external attacks.
Six European leaders backed Denmark in a joint statement which said: “Greenland belongs to its people, and only Denmark and Greenland can decide on matters concerning their relations.” The leaders of the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Poland and Spain stressed they were as keen as the US to ensure Arctic security and said it must be achieved by NATO allies acting collectively. They called for “upholding the principles of the UN Charter, including sovereignty, territorial integrity and the inviolability of borders”.
The European leaders held their urgent talks about Greenland while meeting in Paris to discuss the future of Ukraine and hopes of a peace agreement there. The UK and France signed a declaration of intent to deploy forces to Ukraine in the event of a peace deal.
The latest suggestions by the US administration that it could acquire Greenland by force come just days after a US military assault on Venezuela, the seizure of its President Nicolas Maduro and a declaration that the country would be run by Washington. Recent national security policy from the Trump administration states its intention to ensure US domination of the “western hemisphere”, including central and south America and the western Arctic.

Relatives of those who died in the Air India plane disaster have been marking the first anniversary by keeping vigil at the site in Ahmedabad.
Flight 171 crashed just 32 seconds after takeoff, killing 260 people. One man onboard survived.
Air accident investigators say a final report on the cause of the disaster will be released once all its work has been completed.
But many families of the victims have been voicing their frustration with the process, and the lack of answers they have been offered. Some have yet to receive the remains of their loved ones to hold a proper burial.
We speak to the BBC’s Azadeh Moshiri who is at the site in Ahmedabad.

Royal Marine Commandos have boarded a Russian shadow fleet oil tanker in the English Channel in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Marines, joined by National Crime Agency officers, with the support of the RAF, intercepted and boarded the vessel in a six-hour operation – the first operation of its kind by UK armed forces.
The vessel, Smyrtos, will be held and monitored off the south coast of England as investigations continue, the MoD said.
