Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared on Thursday that Trump's interest in dominating the Greenland and Panama Canal is “not a joke” in the United States' national security benefits.
“This is not a joke,” said Rubio, when he appeared in Sirius XM's “Megin Kelly Show”, when he was specifically asked about Greenland's comments.
“This is not to get land for the purpose of acquiring land,” said Secretary of State. “This is our national interest and needs to be solved.”
53 -year -old Rubio has neglected Trump's previous rejection, excluding the use of military power to acquire the territory managed by Denmark.
“This is a businessman involved in politics, not a politician involved in politics,” said Rubio. “So he approaches these issues from a transaction business perspective.”
“He doesn't intend to start doing leverage from the table to negotiate or conversations.”
“He wants to buy it, he wants to pay,” said the top diplomat in the United States.
Rubio explains that Trump will expand its domestic US energy production, so that the Arctic will be “critical of transportation”, and if Communist sets his eyesight in Greenland, Denmark will stop China. He explained that he was afraid that he could not do it.
“In the Arctic Circle, there are some of the most valuable shipping cars in the world. We need to be able to protect it,” he told Kelly.
“It's completely realistic that the Chinese will probably believe that they will eventually try to do what they have done in the Panama Canal or other places in Greenland. Rubio is the cover of a Chinese company. It warns Chinese companies to serve the “double purpose” and that US enemies can dispatch naval ships at the moment of conflict.
Rubio, who will have the first international trip to Panama as Secretary of State this weekend as Secretary of State, stated that he will discuss the ownership of the US Construction Canal during his visit.
“I think it was quite clear that he wanted to manage the canal again,” said Trump's official.
Rubio has added that Chinese companies have believed that Panama is a “violation of the Treaty Agreement” for the canal because it is allowed to operate a port facility at both the Canal's immigration and exit points. 。
Secretary of State has argued that the Chinese government could immediately notify the company to close the canal.
“That's what President Trump is raising. Rubio talked about his future visit to Panama City.
“Having a canal we paid is not the national interest of the United States, but we used it as a leverage and weapon for us.”
Prior to Rubio's trip, Panama's President Jose Raul Mulino I claimed on Thursday The canal is not sold.
“That's not possible,” Muniro said at a press conference. “I can't negotiate, and I haven't opened the negotiations over the canal. It's sealed. The canal belongs to Panama.”
