- The White House said President Trump is actively evaluating a purchase and refused to rule out military options.
- Greenlandic and Danish officials, joined by several European leaders, publicly rejected any sale and stressed the island’s self-determination.
- Vice President J. D. Vance urged European leaders to take the president’s intentions seriously.
- Any transfer would legally require Greenland’s approval, with proceeds going to the island rather than to Denmark.
