"Here's what I tell my European friends, Graham told Politico's Jonathan Martin. Greenland is behind us, but the goal is to get outcomes. Who gives a shit who owns Greenland? I don't. The point is, Greenland is going to be more fortified because Donald Trump, once he feels like it's his brand or his some buy-in, is gonna go big."
"I don't think you need a bunch of troops. You need technology. You need to be able to watch the enemy, find out what they're doing before they know you find out. It's really strategically located. It's on the outer end of our hemisphere. It's where the Russians have to come out and engage the world, and it's just a great location. Trump knows one thing: location, location, location."
Greenland's strategic location at the outer edge of the Western Hemisphere is driving plans for increased U.S. fortification and surveillance investment. Emphasis will be placed on technology and intelligence capabilities rather than large troop deployments to detect and monitor potential adversary movements. Political interest and perceived presidential ownership can accelerate investment and expansion of U.S. presence. Allied cooperation, particularly with Denmark, is expected to be managed through diplomacy and meetings to secure outcomes. Public opinion in partner countries can affect perceptions, but strategic geography and hemispheric defense priorities are the primary drivers of action.
