Jake Tapper Grills Stephen Miller After His Wife's Social Media Post Causes a Diplomatic Incident
"The premier of Greenland and the premier of Denmark and other Danish officials are responding to a Twitter post from your wife, Katie Miller, herself a former Trump White House official, showing Greenland covered with an American flag, saying, SOON.' After that was posted, President Trump repeated the claim that the U.S. needs Greenland for national security reasons, said Tapper on Monday."
"Miller responded, Well, let me go back a step. The president has been clear for months now so I know you're treating this as breaking news the president has been clear for months now that the United States should be the nation that has Greenland as part of our overall security apparatus. Tapper shot back, Right, but your wife posted that like hours after the Venezuela operation. That's why it's newly relevant."
Katie Miller posted a map of Greenland covered in a U.S. flag with the caption 'SOON' hours after U.S. forces invaded Venezuela. Denmark’s ambassador and other Danish and Greenlandic officials demanded full respect for the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark. CNN host Jake Tapper interviewed White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and asked whether the United States could rule out taking Greenland by force. Stephen Miller replied that the president has been clear for months that the United States should include Greenland in its overall security apparatus. Tapper noted President Trump repeated claims about Greenland’s strategic importance, and the exchange heightened diplomatic tensions.
