Premier Giorgia Meloni said Friday that she does not think the United States will stage a military operation to take control of Greenland, adding that she would not be in agreement if it did.
"I don't believe in the hypothesis of the US taking military action in Greenland, which I wouldn't support and which wouldn't benefit anyone," Meloni told the annual press conference with the Italian guild of journalists.
"The possibility of an intervention to take control of Greenland has been ruled out by (Secretary of State Marco) Rubio and by (President) Donald Trump himself.
"I believe that, with its very assertive methods, the Trump administration is drawing attention to the strategic importance of Greenland for its interests and security.
"It's an area in which many foreign actors operate, and I believe the message from the US is that it will not accept excessive interference by foreign actors."
