US EditionLindsey Graham says Greenland ‘is behind us’ and ‘who gives a s***’ who owns the territory
Senator Graham minimized ownership concerns amid U.S.-Denmark tensions, emphasizing fortification; his remarks sparked backlash and highlighted Trump's strategic interest in Greenland.
- On Friday, Sen. Lindsey Graham said at the Munich Security Conference, Germany, that the U.S.-Greenland issue is settled and Europeans should stop fretting about ownership.
- Last month, President Donald Trump said the United States is "seeking immediate negotiations" to acquire Greenland, but Denmark and Greenland said sovereignty is non-negotiable.
- Quoting his Munich remarks, Sen. Lindsey Graham warned, `The point is, Greenland is going to be more fortified because Donald Trump, once he feels like it's his brand, or he has some buy-in, is going to go big.`
- An AP-NORC poll shows 72 percent of Americans disapprove of Trump’s Greenland handling, prompting backlash from Greenlandic voices and critics.
- Graham argued the net effect will strengthen NATO by citing Trump’s reversal and lawmakers’ support at Munich this year, as Bremmer noted congressional backing for the alliance.
