Trump aide says no-one would fight US over Greenland

A top aide to US President Donald Trump has claimed that no one would fight the United States if it decided to purchase Greenland, a self-governing territory of Denmark. However, seven European countries, including France, Germany, and the UK, have issued a joint statement emphasizing that only Greenland and Denmark can decide on the territory's future. The potential acquisition of Greenland has been a topic of discussion within the Trump administration, with the President reportedly expressing interest in purchasing the island. This has sparked concerns and opposition from Denmark and the international community, who view it as an infringement on Greenland's autonomy and Denmark's sovereignty. The European statement underscores the principle of self-determination and the need for any decision regarding Greenland's status to be made by the Greenlandic people and the Danish government. The statement reiterates the strong ties between the European Union and Greenland, and calls for respect for international law and established treaties.
