Ted Cruz is pushing for the U.S. to take ownership of Greenland, warning Denmark that if Greenland becomes independent, they’ll “get nothing.
”Cruz: “If Greenland were to become a territory, America would invest billions and billions of dollars into developing those resources. That helps America. If, God forbid, we got into a military conflict with Russia or with China, ICBMs would come right over the Arctic, and Greenland is ideally positioned to defend the United States of America.”
Denmark and Greenland firmly reject the idea. Greenland’s Prime Minister Múte Egede: “Greenland is ours. We are not for sale and will never be for sale. We must not lose our long struggle for freedom.”
But Cruz remains firm, even telling Denmark’s ambassador: “They were upset, and they were offended, and they said, 'Greenland is not for sale.' I laughed and I said, 'You know what? Everything's for sale.'"
