  • This is not a joke," Rubio said "The Megyn Kelly Show" on SiriusXM. "This is in our national interest and it needs to be solved."

The article from Just The News discusses Senator Marco Rubio's perspective on former President Donald Trump's interest in acquiring Greenland from Denmark. Rubio emphasized that Trump's proposal was not merely a jest but a serious strategic consideration.

Rubio suggested that while the idea might seem unusual, it reflects a broader strategic interest in the Arctic region, where countries like Russia and China are also increasing their activities.
