According to Jinshi Data on January 8, White House Press Secretary Levitt stated that the Trump administration is "actively" discussing the possibility of purchasing Greenland, noting that Trump prioritizes diplomatic solutions but "reserves multiple options." Following the U.S. capture of Venezuelan President Maduro, Greenland quickly became a focal point in international news, with Trump reigniting interest in this Arctic island. Levitt stated that acquiring Greenland is "something the President and his national security team are currently actively discussing," and described Greenland as "beneficial to U.S. national security." The European Union responded by expressing "full support and solidarity" with Greenland. European Council President Costa said: "Greenland belongs to its people. Without Denmark, without Greenland, no decisions can be made regarding issues concerning Denmark and Greenland."
