When asked if he ruled out the option of military intervention in Greenland from the agenda, he replied: "I'm not here to talk about Denmark or military intervention. I'll meet with them next week. We'll have talks with them then. But I have nothing more to add to that."
Both Denmark and Greenland yesterday in separate statements said that they had strongly requested a meeting with Rubio to discuss the Trump administration's comments on the matter.
Donald Trump's interest in acquiring Greenland is "not new," says Rubio. "He talked about it back in his first term, and he's not the first US president to explore or consider the possibility of acquiring Greenland. There is interest."
