US EditionCruz says it is ‘overwhelmingly in America’s national interest’ to acquire Greenland
Cruz calls Greenland acquisition vital for US security and economic interests amid diplomatic tensions and tariff threats targeting Denmark and European allies.
- Sen. Ted Cruz defended the Trump administration's effort to acquire Greenland, praising it as part of an "America first" agenda during a Fox News interview with Maria Bartiromo, while a resurfaced 2016 clip showed Cruz warning Trump could have `nuked Denmark`.
- Last week, Danish and Greenlandic officials met White House officials but failed to reach an agreement on Greenland as U.S. pressure on Denmark increased.
- On Saturday, President Donald Trump threatened Denmark and seven other European nations, while Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the International Emergency Economic Powers Act would apply pressure; a CBS News/YouGov poll found 70% oppose federal funds for Greenland and 86% reject force.
- Immediate implications include judicial review as the Supreme Court deliberates the emergency powers plan, while Republicans split with Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., opposing military talk and emergency powers use.
- Failed talks with Danish officials position the issue as a diplomatic strain, risking U.S. relations with Denmark and complicating ties with NATO partners as Sen. Ted Cruz publicly endorses the Greenland acquisition.
