Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent claimed that President Donald Trump wants to annex Greenland in order to keep the U.S. from getting dragged into an attack on the territory from Russia.
During an interview Sunday on NBCs Meet the Press, moderator Kristen Welker questioned Bessent over why Trump is still seeking to seize Greenland despite the fact that the leaders of Denmark and Greenland [have said] bluntly, Greenland is not for sale.
Welker asked the question after noting that Trump alluded on Friday he may punish countries with tariffs if they dont back his actions regarding Greenland.
Kristen, if we look for years, for over a century, American presidents have wanted to acquire Greenland, he responded. And what we can see is that Greenland is essential to the U.S. national security. Were building the golden dome, the missile system.
