(Radio Iowa) – Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley says he’s gratified to hear that President Trump says he’s secured a deal with NATO that will bring the United States complete and enduring access to Greenland.
Grassley, a Republican, agrees with the president in saying the territory of Denmark is in a strategic location and it’s in America’s best interest to keep Russia or China from gaining a foothold there. Grassley says it’s a win-win, as the U-S apparently won’t have to use force, try to buy the island, or make it a state.
Grassley says “Denmark is open to almost everything the United States needs for our national security.” Trump made the announcement about Greenland earlier today (Thursday) while in Switzerland where he’s attending a NATO summit.
