Vice President J.D. confirmed recently that the administration of President Donald Trump is indeed eyeing up Greenland. 

What's more is that Vance, according to Breitbart News, believes that the acquisition of Greenland by the United States is "possible."

Vance said as much during a recent interview on the Fox News Channel's Sunday Morning Futures with host Maria Bartiromo.

There, Bartiromo asked, "Do you expect the U.S. to acquire Greenland?"

This is the big question

President Trump has made it perfectly clear that he is intent on getting Greenland for America's national security.

But, in case there was any doubt, this doubt was recently supplied by Marco Rubio, the Trump administration secretary of state.

During a recent appearance on The Megyn Kelly Show, he said:

This is not a joke. This is not about acquiring land for the purpose of acquiring land. This is in our national interest and it needs to be solved.

Trump himself has refused to even rule out the possibility of using military force to acquire Greenland, and Rubio explained why, saying:

He is not going to begin what he views as a negotiation or a conversation by taking ... leverage off the table, and that’s a tactic that’s used all the time in business. It’s being applied to foreign policy and I think to great effect in the first term.

The bottom line is that the Trump administration is eyeing up Greenland. Whether it will actually get it remains unclear.

Vance: "It's possible"

Vance, for his part, says that he does believe that the U.S. can acquire Greenland.

He told Bartiromo, "I think it is possible, Maria."

Vance went on to explain the importance of Greenland to the United States, saying:

So here’s the thing that I think a lot of folks don’t appreciate about Greenland: it’s really important to our national security. There are sea lanes there that the Chinese use, that the Russians use, that frankly Denmark, which controls Greenland, it’s not doing its job and it’s not being a good ally. So you have to ask yourself, how are we going to solve that problem, solve our own national security?

The obvious answer is for the United States to take more of a "territorial interest in Greenland," which is what Vance said the Trump administration wants to do.

The vice president said:

If that means that we need to take more territorial interest in Greenland, that is what President Trump is going to do because he doesn’t care about what the Europeans scream at us. He cares about putting the interests of America’s citizens first.
