Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) admitted that he would “love to see” the U.S. military at war with the French Armed Forces over the right to own Greenland.
“It looks like America is firmly in control and empire-building again,” MAGA influencer Benny Johnson told Steube in a Friday interview. “It’s kind of awesome.”
“Well, I mean, it’s all President Trump,” Steube replied to the effort to control Greenland. “And suddenly there’s this huge deal because they don’t want to get tariffs because our economy is so much bigger than theirs. And they import obviously into our country, and they don’t want to lose all of that.”
“And look, we need to have the ability to operate and have bases there and do the type of things we need to do to ensure that the Golden Dome, when it’s built, is successful to protect our country,” he continued. “And so whatever we need to do to do that in mission accomplished, I think we need to do that.”
“But it sounds like it’s going to be we are going to have the opportunity to operate bases. That’s all we wanted in the first place. And it took leadership from President Trump to get it done.”
Johnson attributed the outcome in Greenland to Trump’s “Art of the Deal.”
“Yeah, 100%,” Steube agreed. “And what strikes me is, you know, you see Macron in the French sending troops to Greenland. Like, I would love to see the United States military up against French troops in Greenland because that would not last very long. It would be a very small skirmish.”
“But it’s just interesting how world leaders like Macron try to buff up their chest to the president,” he added. “And then lo and behold, there’s a deal that’s cut, and he looks like an idiot for trying to push back on something that we need strategically.”
