U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he plans to meet with Danish officials next week after the Trump administration doubled down on its intention to take over Greenland, the strategic Arctic island that is a self-governing territory of Denmark. Rubio told U.S. lawmakers that Trump wants to buy it, rather than use military force. The U.S. is pulling out of 66 international organizations as Trump and his aides assert a new world order guided by military force and economic power. He's proposing a massive increase in military spending to $1.5 trillion next year, citing “dangerous times,” after seizing Venezuela's ruler and asserting control over its oil.
