"In the wake of the invasion, President Donald Trump has reiterated his claim that the U.S. is entitled to Greenland, an autonomous territory that belongs to Denmark, a NATO ally. We need it for defense, Trump said. Jake Tapper drew Miller's attention to a post from Katie Miller, the deputy chief of staff's wife. It showed Greenland on a map covered by a U.S. flag."
"The real question is, by what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? What is the basis of their territorial claim? So you can't take it off the table? Tapper asked. That the U.S. would use military force to seize Greenland? Miller accused Tapper of trying to get a catchy headline that says, Miller refuses to rule out [military force].' The Trump adviser insisted, Nobody's gonna fight the United States militarily over the future of Greenland."
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller appeared on CNN and defended remarks after President Donald Trump reiterated that the U.S. is entitled to Greenland, citing defense needs. First Daughter Katie Miller posted an image of Greenland covered by a U.S. flag with the caption "SOON." Jake Tapper asked whether the U.S. would ever take Greenland by force; Miller declined to rule out military action, saying nobody would fight the United States over Greenland. Representative Don Bacon criticized the remarks as demeaning to allies. Officials in Greenland and Denmark rejected U.S. claims and cited international law forbidding threats or use of force.
