US president Donald Trump is serious about buying Greenland in Denmark, a recent Foreign Minister Marco Rubio says.
In an interview with Sirius XM, Rubio sought to downplay Trump’s speeches about Greenland’s conquest by force. However, he said it was not a joke.
– This is not about buying the country to acquire the country. It’s about the benefits of our country and we have to resolve it, Rubio says.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederis And, according to media information, Trump has been in a tense telephone conversation from Greenland. Frederisen has also sought to receive support from his European allies.
The United States and Denmark are both NATO countries. Therefore, Trump’s speeches on military force have been interpreted as particularly alarming in Europe.
– We already have a defense agreement [Tanskan] With Greenland, if you are attacked, Rubio says.
– If we already have such an obligation, we could equally well have more influence in the area.
Rubio commented on Trump and Frederiksen’s call by saying that Trump has “only a habit of speaking directly and openly.”
“I think diplomacy works better in many cases when we are straightforward instead of using flatness and language that leads to anything,” Rubio says.
