President Trump has set his sights on Greenland. He’s made it very clear that it’s a matter of when, not if. Yesterday, the White House confirmed that military action remains an option for acquiring Greenland, failing all diplomatic avenues. Take a look: JUST IN: President Trump is considering acquiring Greenland and utilizing the U.S. military if needed, according to Reuters.

The statement was made by the White House. “President Trump has made it well known that acquiring Greenland is a national security priority of the United States, and it’s vital to deter our adversaries in the Arctic region,” the White House told Reuters. “The president and his team are discussing a range of options to pursue this important foreign policy goal, and of course, utilizing the U.S. military is always an option at the commander-in-chief’s disposal.” Now, Secretary of State Marco Rubio just doubled down. While speaking to reporters, he re-iterated the president’s authority to use military force in the case of a threat to national security. Watch what he had to say here: Backup here, if needed: SEC RUBIO: MILITARY OPTION IS ALWAYS ONLINE IF SOMEONE THREATENS OUR NATIONAL SECURITY Sec Rubio laid it out on potential U.S. moves against Maduro’s crew, keeping it real on diplomacy versus force: “If the president identifies a threat to the national security of the… pic.twitter.com/Sf8e3j1C9U — Mario Nawfal (@MarioNawfal) January 7, 2026 SEC RUBIO: MILITARY OPTION IS ALWAYS ONLINE IF SOMEONE THREATENS OUR NATIONAL SECURITY Sec Rubio laid it out on potential U.S. moves against Maduro’s crew, keeping it real on diplomacy versus force: “If the president identifies a threat to the national security of the United States, every president retains the option to address it through military means. As a diplomat, which is what I am now and what we work on, we always prefer to settle it in different ways. That included in Venezuela. We tried repeatedly to reach an outcome here that did not involve having to go in and grab an indicted drug trafficker. Those were unsuccessful, unfortunately.” For those who prefer to read, the State Department provided a full transcript of Rubio’s response: QUESTION: Does the U.S. intend to buy Greenland? Can you clarify your comments to lawmakers this week? SECRETARY RUBIO: Well, that’s always been the President’s intent from the very beginning. He said it very early on. I mean, this is not new; he talked about it in his first term. And he’s not the first U.S. president that has examined or looked at how could we acquire Greenland. There’s an interest there. But – so I just reminded them of the fact that not only did Truman want to do it, but President Trump’s been talking about this since his first term. QUESTION: (Off-mike.) SECRETARY RUBIO: What, what? QUESTION: The White House put out a statement last night saying that the military option is on the table. SECRETARY RUBIO: You’ve lost – you’ve really lost a lot of weight. Good job. QUESTION: Thank you, Mr. Secretary. They said that the military option is on the table. So is the administration really willing to risk the NATO Alliance by potentially moving ahead with a military operation? SECRETARY RUBIO: Guys, what I think the White House said yesterday is what I will tell you now and I’ve always said. The President always retained the option, if he – every president, not this President, every president – always retains the option – I’m not talking about Greenland; I’m just talking about globally. If the President identifies a threat to the national security of the United States, every president retains the option to address it through military means. As a diplomat – which is what I am now, and what we work on – we always prefer to settle it in different ways. That included in Venezuela. We tried repeatedly to reach an outcome here that did not involve having to go in and grab an indicted drug trafficker. Those were unsuccessful, unfortunately. As Marco Rubio noted, diplomacy is the preferred route. He’s openly stated that President Trump wants to buy the country of Greenland, rather than invade it. Just yesterday, we brought you this report: Secretary Of State Marco Rubio Told Lawmakers President Trump Wants To BUY Greenland This would be a win-win for both the U.S. and Greenland. And in a very good sign, Denmark and Greenland are showing signs that they are open to discussion. In fact, they've already requested a formal meeting with Rubio.

Would you be okay with using military action, if needed?
