US Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized that President Trump’s proposal to purchase Greenland is a serious strategic move, not a joke. He suggested that negotiations should be handled diplomatically, as reports indicate tensions between Trump and Denmark’s Prime Minister.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio dismissed any notion that President Donald Trump’s proposal to purchase Greenland was a joke, emphasizing that it was a serious move driven by national interests. He reportedly explained that the initiative was not simply about acquiring land but was part of a broader strategic objective that needed to be addressed.
“This is not a joke…this is not about acquiring land for the sake of it. This is in our national interest, and it needs to be solved,” Rubio said during an interview on SiriusXM show.
Rubio indicated that Trump was intent on pursuing the acquisition of Greenland, which remains an autonomous territory under Danish sovereignty. He acknowledged that discussions of such a proposal were sensitive and suggested that negotiations would be more effectively handled through formal diplomatic channels rather than in the public eye. According to him, publicly raising the issue could place Danish officials in a difficult position domestically.
Reports suggest that a recent phone call between Trump and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen turned tense, with officials in Copenhagen reportedly expressing deep concern over the matter.
