   Former national security adviser Robert O’Brien said in a Sunday interview   
   that Denmark should let the U.S. “buy” Greenland if it cannot defend the   
   self-governing country, noting the territory will become increasingly   
   important in the coming years.   
      
   In an interview on Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” O’Brien described   
   Greenland as a “highway from the Arctic all the way to North America” and   
   noted that the autonomous country, which is part of the Kingdom of   
   Denmark, will become increasingly important as the climate warms in the   
   coming years.   
      
   “It’s strategically very important to the Arctic, which is going to be the   
   critical battleground of the future because, as the climate gets warmer,   
   the Arctic is going to be a pathway that maybe even cuts down on the usage   
   of the Panama Canal,” O’Brien said.   
      
   Talk of buying Greenland can also be seen as a national security play. The   
   Arctic is a key region as the U.S. looks to counter Russia and China, and   
   it’s becoming more contested as melting ice opens up new shipping routes.   
      
   O’Brien quoted President-elect Trump as saying that the U.S. won’t defend   
   Greenland free of charge.   
      
   “The Russians and Chinese are all over the Arctic,” O’Brien said. “The   
   Kingdom of Denmark owns Greenland, and they have got an obligation to   
   defend Greenland. And so President Trump said, ‘If you don’t defend   
   Greenland, we will buy it and we will defend it. But we’re not going to   
   defend it for free and let you — and not develop Greenland and not extract   
   the minerals and oil and resources of Greenland.’”   
      
   “Denmark is now on the front lines of the war against Russia and China.   
   They’re like the Baltic states. They’re like Poland because of their vast   
   territory in Greenland. And so they have got to defend Greenland,” O’Brien   
   added. “And if they can’t defend it, we’re going to have to, and we’re not   
   going to do it for free.”   
      
   Alternatively, O’Brien said, if Denmark does not want to pay the U.S. for   
   Greenland’s defense, the U.S. can take the territory off its hands.   
      
   “They can let us buy Greenland from [Denmark], and Greenland can become   
   part of Alaska. I mean, the native people in Greenland are very closely   
   related to the people of Alaska, and we will make it a part of Alaska,”   
   O’Brien said.   
      
   In a Truth Social post announcing his pick for ambassador to Denmark last   
   week, Trump declared that U.S. ownership of the island territory “is an   
   absolute necessity.”   
      
   Greenlandic Prime Minister Múte Eged pushed back on Trump’s comments,   
   saying Greenland “will never be for sale,” and Denmark announced a new   
   package to boost security of the Arctic Island.

   November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look   
   forward to America being great again.   
      
   The disease known as Kamala Harris has been effectively treated and   
   eradicated.   
      
   We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that   
   stupid people won't be offended.

   Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden   
   fiasco, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.
