John Bolton on expanding into Greenland
There seems to be little that President Trump and one of his
first-term national security advisers, John Bolton, agree on publicly
these days -- but one issue may be whether the U.S. should acquire
Greenland from Denmark.

Trump fired Bolton, who had previously served as his U.S. ambassador
to the U.N., in 2019 -- the same year the president first spoke about
his ambitions for Greenland. And Bolton told NPR that he thinks the
president ruined the country's chances of negotiating to acquire the semiautonomous territory by failing to speak privately with Danish
leaders about the possibility first.
While Bolton maintains there are other paths to allowing the U.S. and
allies to fend off geopolitical threats in the Arctic region, he
accused Trump of acting like a "playground bully" in his approach --
noting Trump's refusal to rule out military force to take Greenland.
