Rubio announced progress in the negotiations regarding Greenland
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that negotiations with Denmark and Greenland regarding the use of the island within the framework of “collective defense” are moving in a positive direction. According to him, the discussions show “good prospects” for reaching relevant agreements.
During the hearing, a congresswoman from Delaware asked Rubio if he knew that “Greenland is actually part of Denmark.”
“For now,” replied the U.S. Secretary of State.
He also noted that the U.S. is negotiating with Greenland and Denmark “regarding the use of Greenland for the collective defense of us all.”
“This is a key part of missile defense, but we are currently engaged in these negotiations. I think we have good prospects on this right now,” he said.
Rubio noted that negotiations with Denmark and Greenland are taking place on a monthly basis.
"I think at some point we will have some pretty good news on this," the U.S. Secretary of State added.
Rubio made these remarks during a hearing of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, according to Reuters.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is alive and continues to interact with his inner circle, though he does so cautiously and primarily through written messages and intermediaries. Officials in Washington note that his activity has been increasing recently.
