""the U.S. military is always an option at the commander-in-chief's disposal.""

Denmark entered crisis mode after quiet ally-to-ally persuasion failed to dissuade U.S. interest in acquiring Greenland. Danish officials and partners publicly raised alarm over the prospect. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt reiterated that President Trump intends to acquire Greenland and that the U.S. military remains an option. Senator Marco Rubio acknowledged that presidents retain the military option but said peaceful resolutions are preferred. Greenland and Denmark stated the territory is not for sale. Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen and Greenland counterpart Vivian Motzfeldt requested a meeting with Rubio to address the situation.
