One of President Donald Trump's closest aides, Stephen Miller, questioned Denmark's claim on Greenland and suggested the U.S. could seize it without pushback, stoking concern among European allies.
Speaking to CNN's Jake Tapper, Miller sidestepped questions of whether the U.S. will use military force to take Greenland, a territory of Denmark, and said the president has been "clear for months" that the U.S. should have it.
Nobodys going to fight the United States militarily over the future of Greenland, Miller said in the Jan. 5 interview.
Miller also questioned Denmark's control over the resource-rich territory. "It wouldn't be military action against Greenland. Greenland has a population of 30,000 people, Jake," Miller said. "The real question is, by what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland?"

They're territories as recognized under international law, asshole. And Denmark has had Greenland for longer than the US has existed.
