US Seriously Weighs Invading Greenland Because 'It’s Just Too Cold to Ignore'
KEY POINTS
- •Marco Rubio said he will meet with Danish and Greenlandic officials next week in Washington to discuss the Greenland crisis.
- •The White House has alarmed Denmark and NATO allies by repeatedly saying military force is an option in acquiring Greenland.
- •Denmark’s quiet persuasion strategy failed to deter Trump, whose administration confirms a persistent interest in buying Greenland.
In a diplomatic thriller cooler than the ice cap itself, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced he’ll meet Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen and Greenland’s Vivian Motzfeldt next week in Washington. The crisis? America’s Prince Charming Trump is so obsessed with buying Greenland that the US White House insists military force is 'always an option.' Denmark has been scrambling since Christmas, realizing their whisper-quiet strategy just bounced off Trump’s bulletproof ego. Meanwhile, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt doubled down with threats that make Sovereign Territory Drama sound like a Marvel origin story. Greenland? Not for sale, no matter how much Trump drafts a Monopoly-style offer.
