The White House says President Donald Trump and his team are discussing several ways to acquire Greenland, including possible military options. It calls the Arctic island a national security priority. The comments come after European leaders issued a joint statement supporting Denmark and stressing respect for borders and international law. Greenland’s prime minister welcomed the statement and asked for respectful dialogue. US officials later said Washington is open to buying the territory or forming a free association pact. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has told lawmakers there is no plan to invade. Denmark says it wants urgent talks with the US to clear misunderstandings over the issue. (PC: BBC)
