00:00The White House says the use of the U.S. military is, quote,
00:04always an option in President Donald Trump's bid to acquire Greenland and bring it under Washington's control.
00:11The comments came in a statement released by White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt on Tuesday.
00:17The remarks appear to have caught even Republican lawmakers close to Trump by surprise,
00:22who were not briefed of the potential shift in position.
00:25What do you make the White House this afternoon said maybe, you know, we'll have to use military.
00:31We're not taking it off the table. Who said that? The White House.
00:36Well, who at the White House? I mean, you know, I think it was a statement from the press office.
00:40Well, I'm going to go by what the president says.
00:43And they didn't come up in his meeting with us today. And I haven't had a discussion about it.
00:47So I don't know. I think Greenland is viewed by a lot of people as something that would be a strategic positioning.
00:55Trump floated the idea of purchasing Greenland, part of the Danish throne since the early 18th century,
01:11early in his return to the Oval Office last year.
01:14The U.S. president says the acquisition of Greenland is, quote,
01:18needed for national security purposes.
01:21Trump has renewed his interest in taking over the Arctic nation following Saturday's stunning military intervention in Venezuela,
01:28which overthrew and captured President Nicolás Maduro.
01:32I'll see you there now.
