White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller on Monday suggested that the United States would not face any military opposition over Greenland as the Trump administration renews its push to acquire the territory from Denmark.

“Nobody’s going to fight the United States militarily over the future of Greenland,” he told CNN. “The United States should have Greenland as part of the United States. There’s no need to even think or talk about this in the context that you’re asking, of a military operation."

His comments came in the wake of the Trump administration apprehending Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in a military raid that has Denmark on edge over possible action.

President Donald Trump sought to purchase the territory in his first term and has continued his push for a sale or negotiation since his return to the White House.
