️🇩🇰🇺🇸 American Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, on the enormous importance of the agreement with Denmark regarding Greenland:.
"I think just from a strategic point of view and where it is geographically, where the president has always focused when it comes to Greenland, is national security.

Now we have an agreement that will last forever that guarantees not only the equity of North America, namely the United States and Canada, but also all of our NATO partners. And so it's very solid in that regard, and we think it's a very positive deal and one that I think gave us what the president was most interested in, which was protecting not only the national security of the United States, but the security of our allies in NATO and North America."
