Fetterman on US annexation of Greenland: ‘Responsible negotiations’ have to be done

Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) described recent negotiations regarding the acquisition of Greenland by the United States as “responsible negotiations.”

Fetterman during an interview on Fox News on Tuesday accepted While he would “never support” taking Greenland “by force”, talking about Denmark acquiring Greenland would be a “responsible conversation”, including “buying it outright”.

Fetterman’s words come after President-elect Donald Trump previously said the US taking ownership of Greenland is an “absolute necessity” for national security and independence.

“For example, there’s a lot of talk about Greenland, and, I know there are a lot of things going on there and, of course, I would never advocate taking it by force,” Fetterman said. “But, I think it’s a responsible conversation if they were willing to get it, you know, even if it means buying it outright.”

Fetterman told those who think the idea of ​​the US acquiring Greenland is “stupid” that, under former President Thomas Jefferson, the US purchased the Louisiana Purchase and, under former President Andrew Johnson, the US acquired Alaska. Had bought.

Fetterman said, “If someone thinks this is nonsense, that’s fine, remember the Louisiana Purchase.” “I think Alaska was also a pretty big deal, I think it was $50 million. It was called Seward’s Folly.”
