“You have Russia trying to be the king of the Arctic with 60-odd icebreakers, some of which are nuclear. We have two of them and one just caught fire,” the future Trump adviser said.
In addition, he added that “we are talking about minerals and natural resources.”
“Now, when the polar ice caps are melting, the Chinese are using icebreakers and moving there. So it’s oil and gas. It’s our national security,” Volz noted.
According to media reports, Trump is serious about acquiring Greenland, both to expand America’s sphere of influence in the Western Hemisphere and to cement his legacy.
He previously refused to rule out the use of military or economic action to take control of the Danish overseas territory after he takes office on January 20.
Denmark responded to Trump’s comments by saying Greenland was not for sale.
