On Sunday, Trump reopened discussions about purchasing rare earth minerals-rich Greenland. This move follows his earlier remarks, threatening to reclaim control of the Panama Canal amid concerns over a potential Chinese takeover.
"For purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity," Trump wrote on Truth Social, while also announcing Ken Howery for US ambassador to the Kingdom of Denmark.
Trump said:
I am pleased to announce Ken Howery as my choice for United States Ambassador to the Kingdom of Denmark. Ken is a World renowned entrepreneur, investor, and public servant, who served our Nation brilliantly during my First Term as US Ambassador to Sweden, where he led efforts to increase Defense, Security, and Economic Cooperation between our Countries. As a Co-Founder of PayPal and venture capital fund, Founders Fund, Ken turned American Innovation and Tech leadership into Global success stories, and that experience will be invaluable in representing us abroad.
...
Ken will do a wonderful job in representing the interests of the United States. Thank you Ken, and congratulations!
