Greenland, Denmark Press Rubio for Fast Meeting Over Trump’s Greenland Quest
Trump team considering a range of options for acquiring a more robust relationship with Greenland, including a Compact of Free Association.
There has been a fascinating development in the saga of President Donald Trump’s quest for Greenland.
In the last chapter, I noted that Trump has stressed that a more robust relationship with Greenland is a national security issue. Indications are suggestive that the President has decided that Denmark doesn’t have the chops to defend the region from adversarial interests to our nation.
Trump doubled down on his plans for a closer relationship with the Arctic island shortly after the successful operations in Venezuela, which are a clear indication that the Monroe Doctrine is being rebooted.
Now it appears Secretary of State Marco Rubio is going to be even busier than he has been recently. Greenland and Denmark have jointly asked for an urgent, high‑level meeting with Rubio.
Greenland said on Tuesday that it had asked, along with Denmark, for a speedy meeting with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio after US President Donald Trump renewed claims on the Arctic island.
“The objective of the meeting is to discuss the significant statements made by the United States about Greenland,” a Danish autonomous territory, Foreign Minister Vivian Motzfeldt wrote in a Facebook post.
“It has so far not been possible for US Secretary of State Marco Rubio to meet with the Greenlandic government, despite the fact that the Greenlandic and Danish governments have requested a meeting at the ministerial level throughout 2025,” she added.

Man, Trump’s pressure is REALLY getting to them🤣

That may not happen, given Rubio’s full schedule and his penchant for putting America First in his decision-making.
“It has so far not been possible for US Secretary of State Marco Rubio to meet with the Greenlandic government, despite the fact that the Greenlandic and Danish governments have requested a meeting at the ministerial level throughout 2025,” she added.
Legal Insurrection readers may recall that I noted a “Compact of Free Association” might be a mutually agreeable route for all parties. Now, reports indicate that senior officials are suggesting this is an option the Trump administration will push, along with several others.
According to a senior U.S. official, the administration is considering several approaches, including purchasing the territory from Denmark or establishing a compact of free association with the island.
The official also indicated that Trump aims to complete the acquisition during his current term in office, adding that the issue is “not going away” despite objections from NATO leaders.
The White House has emphasized that securing Greenland is considered a “national security priority” for the United States, highlighting the strategic importance the administration places on the Arctic territory.

For Greenland, a Compact of Free Association with our country offers a self‑governance option while unlocking substantial economic and security support. Greenland could trade U.S. defense guarantees and long‑term financial assistance for hosting U.S. military facilities and granting Washington certain security rights, exceeding anything Denmark could offer.
Such an arrangement could expand access to the U.S. market, support infrastructure investment and critical minerals development, and provide eligibility for selected U.S. federal programs, modeled on existing COFAs with Pacific states. Additional benefits for Greenlandic residentsinclude the right to live and work in the U.S. and opportunities tied to closer educational and commercial links, which could support long‑term economic options beyond fishing and raw‑materials exports.
❕ Trump Is Preparing a Major Deal on Greenland
The U.S. administration is developing a draft agreement with Greenland that could be offered directly to the island’s authorities, according to The Economist.

Stay tuned! If Rubio adds this meeting to the calendar, the new suite of proposals may be on the table.
Should this be the case, Rubio would be in a position to expand his portfolio of successes substantially. He would certainly be recognized as one of this nation’s most effective Secretaries of State.
BEING MARCO: Rubio is Trump's go-to 'Acting Secretary'. Here's Marco finding out he's got to run Venezuela, Iran, Canada, Minnesota, Hilton, and Greenland… What am I missing? 🤣 pic.twitter.com/iyRskXRde9

trump buys and sells real estate as a pro american
he hasnt changed his ways
his america first agenda is destroying lefty
not quick enough
but destroying them
maga
Two things:
1. The Danes don’t have the pull to end NATO on their own.
2. NATO benefits Europe more than the US. Our benefit is indirect while theirs is direct. I don’t expect us to attack but this is a hollow threat at best.
Nonsense. Denmark has a dingy and is threatening to export muslims to the US. I guess they are not aware that Obama and Biden imported millions already to the US.
We’ll just send back Somalis
Tit For Tat Diplomacy. I like it.
The number of illegals in the US is 4 times the entire Danish population,
I think the USA is going to end up with the unoccupied portions of Greenland. The towns are going to continue their relationship with Denmark.
Denmark said that Greenland’s future is up to Greenland. Trump is just bypassing the middleman, and perhaps giving an option of offers that might be palatable to them. There are a variety of constructs in the Pacific islands on the table that the people of Greenland might find adventagous.
trumps thinking is correct
forever we have carried the burden
carried the cost
carried the cross
for the worlds problems rarely getting any help from those welfare lovers
while they brag along with the msm
how they can feed and cloth and house and have low costs meds and no crime etc etc while the sh alll over america
but trump has finally called them all out and they wilt under the pressures of the truth
you just tim walz exemplify that fact
any pressure??? we’re out of here
trump for the win
destroy communism as they are destroying our societies as quickly as possible
“Ah ain’t no-ways tarred of winning.”
The need for Greenland is to counter Russian aggression in the Arctic Ocean area. It also allows the US to maintain the Greenland / Iceland area shipping lanes. All of this diplomatic activity is in preparation of the US cutting many of our security ties with the UK and Europe.
On a longer time line I agree. Probably 15 years to 25 years but could accelerate if the EU becomes intransigent. The Trump Admin 2.0 is rebuilding ‘fortress America’, seeking to reorient our focus on near threats within our hemisphere and on ensuring we have the critical commodities to sustain a reinvigorated domestic manufacturing base. The ancillary benefit is to deny control of those commodities (rare earth/oil/NG) to our current or potential strategic competitors.
Europe will be a semi-hostile Islamic country in 10-15 years. All the Europeans, the few that are left, will be clamoring to come here and bringing their socialism with them, Since they’re white the democrats will be rioting to reject them. Since their socialist the republicans may not accept them.
Whatever else occurs the resources and strategic position Greenland make it too valuable to the USA to allow any strategic competitor to control it. At a certain point all the polite, measured diplomatic speak and the regional hegemonic power asserts itself. The EU Nations, many of which are NATO members, seem to view the EU as a strategic counter poise to the USA and China. Sooner or later the EU is gonna figure out ‘soft power’ is no match for military power.
EU is talking about fielding a EU army and they look at themselves as a power equivalent to the US. The fact we are still there and putting up with their BS is infuriating. The worse country of course is France with that stupid strutting twit Macron. The worse country has always been France going back to at least WW1.
The EU is talking about fielding an ‘EU’ force but that’s really all it is. They’ve been talking about it and not much else for a while. Germany can’t field a single Brigade operationally ready for combat much less a single Division. Similar low readiness for their Air and Naval forces per the German Defense ministry. Then there’s the problem of cheap, plentiful energy required to produce the materials of war; tanks, APC, ships, aircraft, munitions. The Germans and much of Europe have severed cheap reliable energy/electric generation for green fantasy. Now that they are finally severing from Russian NG/Oil they gotta buy LNG from the USA. More expensive needs new investment in port and storage facilities then converted back to NG. Plus they’d have to dump their vast socialist welfare system to pay for bringing their military up to scratch. IMO the EU is all bluster and the next financial crisis may shatter the common currency.
For sale: French Army rifle, like new condition, only dropped once.
I don’t know about y’all but I’m buying a seaside condo in Nuuk to spend the summers.
I’m going to call my place Mar-a-Igloo
This is our panama canal and is strategic to those who are willing to work the land>>>usa
not socialists whose only idea of work is
leeching off of others
Y’all aren’t thinking long range enough or big enough.
First, we have Trump strengthening the Monroe Doctrine.
Then, we have Trump errrrr, trumping Jackson (Seward’s Folly) with Greenland.
He’s setting himself up to get on Mount Rushmore
ALSO, what sits EXACTLY between Alaska and Greenland?
That’s correct! CANADA.
Trump will have America’s
HatToque surrounded. You don’t think that’s what he’s looking to do here?and your problem with that is…….
Absolutely nuthin’!
I’m just pointing it out to expand your horizons. 😉
^^^^^^^!!!!!!^^^^^^
Trump is setting the stage to help the USA turn into the USA.
The United States of America into The United States of the Americas
just going to re state this:
like it or not
as I have posted before
mamdami /islam was an inevitable takeover of nyc
they won the 9 11 war
they took out a city and laid claim to it and we have been shamed into accepting the takeover with all sorts of excuses for its occurrence
but the bottom line is …if one is not willing or able to defend its assets
you will lose
Cdr. Salamander has written extensively about the issue; he makes the point that Trump could have done this more quietly. Perhaps, but ‘quiet’ is a tool that Mr. Trump employs, and sometimes doesn’t.
The Cdr points out that a fair bit of Russian strategic assets are in/near/around the Kola Peninsula. Draw an arc from Kola to San Francisco on one side, and Kola to New Work on the other, and guess what sits halfway between Kola and the U.S. in that arc? Yup, Greenland.
If for no other reason than that, we want Greenland.
This is bullshit.
Denmark depends on the USA to protect Greenland. Denmark was perfectly happy to default on its NATO commitments and let the US taxpayers shoulder the burden for decades while they created their little social welfare utopia, knowing if danger came knocking, those dumb Americans would save them. It’s time we stop being the world’s b*tch. It’s time they give more than they get.
And look at that, suddenly the left loves European white colonies 😂😂
That look on Rubio’s face as he is told he has to run Greenland right after he is told he is running Venezuela.
