Marco Rubio Warns of Trump's Serious Intentions

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

Marco Rubio also commented on Trump's earlier 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 Does Trump Want Greenland?

According to the U.S. Secretary of State, Greenland holds crucial strategic significance for America, especially in light of climate change, which will make the Arctic increasingly important for international shipping.

In January, Trump had a phone conversation with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, during which she once again confirmed that Greenland is not for sale. At the same time, the Prime Minister of the autonomous territory, Múte Egede, has also repeatedly stressed that Greenland remains a part of Denmark.

"If China begins to threaten Greenland, do we really believe this is not a place where significant geopolitical deals will take place?" — 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 for the U.S..

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Greenland has also stated that Greenland could become independent, but will not turn into part of the United States.

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

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