Trump's acquisition plan for Greenland accelerates progress, White House takes action

According to the New York Times, President Trump's long-standing goal of obtaining Greenland from the United States has shifted from rhetoric to official US policy as the White House is pushing for a formal plan to acquire the Arctic island from Denmark. According to a US official, the White House National Security Council has held multiple meetings to translate Trump's words into action and has recently issued specific instructions to multiple government departments. The full details of this plan are still unclear. But the official stated that despite Trump's hints of the possibility of using force, the discussions led by the National Security Council have never seriously considered military options. According to another person familiar with the matter, Trump's advisers have discussed using advertising and social media campaigns to influence public opinion on the island.
