- On Friday, Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni said she did not believe the United States would resort to military force to seize control of Greenland and stressed Italy would not support such a move.
- On Tuesday, the White House said the United States administration is weighing options including military action to control Greenland, a mineral-rich, strategically located region of NATO ally Denmark.
