I dug a little deeper,

The Kremlin said Thursday that it's keeping a close eye on President-elect Donald Trump's ongoing pursuit of Greenland.

Earlier this week, Trump said he would not rule out using military force to seize the strategically-important Arctic island that's an autonomous territory of Denmark, saying it was in the U.S.' economic and national interest.

Trump's comments have found some support among pro-Kremlin figures in Russia with a number close to President Vladimir Putin saying any U.S. move to claim Greenland would legitimize Russia's own expansionist aims and ambitions to restore former Soviet territories, such as the Baltics, to its own sphere of influence and power.
