How The 1917 Virgin Islands Deal Is A Blueprint For Buying Greenland
Authored by Dustin Bass via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),
When Secretary of State Marco Rubio stood before reporters on Jan. 7 to discuss the military operation that took place in Venezuela four days prior, he added another element of intrigue.

Such discussions will be new for Rubio, though it is not the first time the Trump administration has broached the subject.
