"When it comes to Greenland, I want to commend President Trump, Cruz told Bartiromo, for being single-mindedly focused on America First, on U.S. economic interests, and U.S. national security interests. Cruz stated unequivocally, I believe it is overwhelmingly in America's national interest to acquire Greenland. He continued: A year ago as chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, I chaired a hearing on the benefits to the United States of America of acquiring Greenland."
"Look, the whole history of America has been a history of acquiring new lands and new territories, whether you go back to Thomas Jefferson making the Louisiana purchase about half of the United States of America today or you go back to America purchasing Alaska from Russia. You want to talk about at the time they called it Seward's Folly It turned out to to be an extraordinarily consequential purchase."
"Greenland has massive rare earth minerals and critical minerals. There are enormous economic benefits to America, but like Alaska, it is located on the Arctic which is a major theater for major military conflict with either Russia or China. It's also critical for the Golden Dome and for defending America from strikes. I commend the president for focusing on American national security."
Sen. Ted Cruz strongly supported President Trump's interest in acquiring Greenland, citing U.S. economic and national security priorities. Cruz referenced a Senate Commerce Committee hearing he chaired on Greenland's benefits and compared potential acquisition to historical purchases like the Louisiana Purchase and Alaska. He emphasized Greenland's large reserves of rare earth and critical minerals and its strategic Arctic location amid possible conflict with Russia or China. Cruz argued Greenland could aid missile defense and overall national security. Maria Bartiromo agreed about geographic defensive value, while Sen. Rand Paul said no Republicans would back seizing Greenland by force.
