President Donald Trump insisted during a Cabinet meeting Monday that second lady Usha Vance's Greenland visit is about "friendliness, not provocation." "This is friendliness and provocation. We're dealing with a lot of people from Greenland that would like to see something happen with respect to their being properly protected and properly taken care of," Trump said Monday. "They're calling us. We're not calling them," he added. Trump repeated his assertions the U.S. could come to control Greenland, saying, “I think Greenland’s going to be something that maybe is in our future.” He called U.S. control of the island that is part of the Kingdom of Denmark important for national security. Trump also suggested that Secretary of State Marco Rubio could be going soon to Greenland, and that people there were asking U.S. officials to go, including “some officials.”
