Countries in Europe reportedly are working on a plan if the Trump administration makes a move on acquiring Greenland, which is a a Danish territory.

The White House said on Tuesday that President Donald Trump views acquiring Greenland as a national security priority and that the use of the U.S. military remains an option as his administration weighs how to pursue control of the Arctic territory.

“President Trump has made it well known that acquiring Greenland is a national security priority of the United States,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement to Fox News.

“The President and his team are discussing a range of options to pursue this important foreign policy goal, and of course, utilizing the U.S. Military is always an option at the Commander in Chief’s disposal,” she added.

When asked Wednesday for a response to the Reuters report, the White House referred Fox News Digital to Leavitt’s remarks.
