This was reported by Politico.

Marco Rubio Warned of Trump's Serious Intentions

"This is not a joke," ā€” stated Marco Rubio, emphasizing that it is not merely about purchasing territory, but about the strategic interests of the United States.

Marco Rubio also commented on Trump's previous statements regarding the potential use of military force against Denmark, a NATO ally of the U.S. He noted that such statements should not be taken literally, as they are merely part of the negotiation tactics that Trump actively employs in politics.

Why Trump Wants Greenland

According to the U.S. Secretary of State, Greenland holds key strategic importance for America, especially considering climate changes that will make the Arctic increasingly significant for international shipping.

In January, Trump had a phone conversation with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, during which she reiterated that Greenland is not for sale. At the same time, the Prime Minister of the autonomous territory, Mute Egede, also emphasized multiple times that Greenland remains a part of Denmark.

"If China starts threatening Greenland, do we really believe that this is not a place where major geopolitical deals will occur?" ā€” summarized Marco Rubio.

Recall that at the end of December, Donald Trump stated that wants to buy Greenland, to which Denmark responded.

Trump's National Security Advisor Mike Waltz explained why Greenland is important to the U.S..

The Greenland Ministry of Foreign Affairs also stated that Greenland could become independent, but will not become part of the U.S.

Meanwhile, a scandal erupted around Donald Trump's son. He was accused of bribery involving a group of individuals who were chanting for Greenland's annexation to the U.S.

A Member of the European Parliament from Denmark urged Greenland to join the European Union as soon as possible.
