White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt stated that the meeting held yesterday between Vice President JD Vance and Danish officials regarding Greenland was "productive," announcing that technical discussions on the purchase of Greenland between the two countries would begin.
In a press briefing, Leavitt provided evaluations regarding the discussions about Greenland and the meeting that took place yesterday.
"TECHNICAL DISCUSSIONS WILL BEGIN TO PURCHASE GREENLAND"
Spokesperson Leavitt drew attention to President Donald Trump's "priority of acquiring Greenland from Denmark," stating that this region is vital for American national interests.
Yesterday, Leavitt described the meeting between Vice President JD Vance and Danish officials at the White House as "productive," saying, "During the meeting, both sides agreed to establish a working group to continue technical discussions on the purchase of Greenland. It was noted that this meeting would take place every 2 to 3 weeks."
"TRUMP SEES GREENLAND AS A NATIONAL SECURITY PRIORITY"
Leavitt stated, "President Trump wants Greenland to join the U.S. and sees this as a national security priority."
The American spokesperson also added that the plans of some European countries to send troops to Greenland would not affect Trump's decision.
WHAT HAPPENED?
U.S. President Donald Trump had expressed that the U.S. "needs Greenland for national security purposes" and that this is "vital for the constructed Golden Dome."
After the meeting of the foreign ministers of the U.S., Denmark, and Greenland in Washington, it was noted that fundamental disagreements continued, and it was recorded that the U.S. had a "clear desire to seize Greenland."
Greenland, an autonomous region of Denmark, had previously rejected approaches from the U.S. that included the transfer of sovereignty.
