The White House said on Tuesday that President Donald Trump is discussing options for acquiring Greenland, including potential use of the U.S. military, in a revival of his ambition to control the strategic island despite European objections.

Ariz., introduced new legislation to block President Donald Trump from invading Greenland after threats of military action.

One of President Trump's closest aides questioned Denmark's claim on Greenland and suggested the U.S. could seize it without pushback.

Canadian leaders reportedly plan Greenland visit in February amid growing international tensions over President Donald Trump's annexation comments.
