Foreign soldiers sent to Greenland by European countries will not interfere with the US president's plans Donald Trump. About said white House press secretary Caroline Leavitt at a press conference.

Despite Europe's attempts to increase its military presence on the island in the Arctic, Trump does not intend to abandon his plan to control it.

"I don't think the presence of troops in Europe affects the president's decision-making process, and it doesn't affect his goal of acquiring Greenland," Levitt said.
