Rubio says Trump’s interest in Greenland and Panama Canal is driven by China concerns
![]() 704 Friday, 31 January, 2025, 10:19 Secretary of State Marco Rubio says President Donald Trump’s desire to acquire Greenland and retake control of the Panama Canal is driven by legitimate national security interests stemming from growing concerns about Chinese activity and influence in the Arctic and in Latin America. "It's conceivable that eventually, perhaps even in the short term, the Chinese will try to do in Greenland what they've done in the Panama Canal and elsewhere - set up facilities that will give them access to the Arctic under the cover of a Chinese company," Rubio said. |
