Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman said Wednesday hes open to Donald Trumps idea that the U.S. acquire Greenland, telling reporters that its strategically a smart thing.
I mean, its pretty reasonable, and I think its actually strategically a smart thing, Fetterman said, according to NBC News. CNNs Manu Raju added that Fetterman told the press that he would support the acquisition if Denmark did as well.
Fetterman and Trump had a meeting a few days ago at Trumps Florida club, Mar-a-Lago, where they not only discussed Greenland but other expansionist ideassuch as reacquiring the Panama Canal.
Trump had kind things to say about Fetterman afterward. It was a totally fascinating meeting. Hes a fascinating man, and his wife is lovely. They were both up, and I couldnt be more impressed, he told the Washington Examiner. Hes a commonsense person. Hes not liberal or conservative. Hes just a commonsense person, which is beautiful.

Fetterman is talking about buying Greenland, not acquiring them by military invasion.

I don't see praise from Trump as worth anything. It's not like he's a constant friend to anyone - he'll turn on anyone

He had a stroke followed by an extended mental health crisis; he seemed to be bouncing back.
