The US “Wall Street Journal” quoted sources on the 6th as reporting that US Secretary of State Rubio said at a closed-door congressional briefing held on the 5th that the US government recently threatened the Greenland issue with the aim of “buying” the island from Denmark. The report said, “Rubio told members of Congress that the US government's recent threat to Greenland did not suggest an impending invasion; its goal was to buy the island from Denmark.” The report quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that during the briefing, Rubio downplayed the claim that the US might seize Greenland by force. US White House press secretary Levitt confirmed in an email to Xinhua News Agency reporters on the 6th that US President Trump and his team are discussing “a series of options” to obtain Greenland, including “using the US military.” Trump has made it clear that “getting Greenland is America's national security priority and critical to deterring our opponents in the Arctic.”
