The White House has confirmed that President Donald Trump along with his top aides are looking into possible options for taking control of Greenland despite US allies opposing the idea. The White House also revealed that Trump is not ruling out the use of military force to annex Greenland, following the US military operation on Venezuela.

In a statement, the White House confirmed that Trump appears determined to annex Greenland and is already exploring options as to how to do it, according to the Daily Mirror. 'The president and his team are discussing a wide range of options to pursue this important foreign policy goal and of course, utilising the US military is always an option at the commander-in-chief's disposal,' the statement reads.
