NextImg:GOP Senator Appears All In On Trump's Greenland And Panama Canal Proposals
LOADINGERROR LOADING

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) seemed to support President-elect Donald Trump’s proposals to take control of Greenland and the Panama Canal during an interview Monday on Fox News. (Watch the video below.)

Host Kellyanne Conway, a former Trump adviser, asked Blackburn to walk viewers through some of Trump’s recent musings on Truth Social and “why they’re important.”

In the last few days, Trump again suggested he wants the U.S. to purchase Greenland from Denmark and operate it for defensive purposes. He also threatened to take back the Panama Canal from Panama over “exorbitant prices” for passage.

Blackburn appeared to give preliminary backing to the president-elect on those matters.

Trump had received a “mandate” from voters to transform President Joe Biden’s “America-last policy” into one that puts America first, she claimed.

“So when it comes to dealing with the Panama Canal and making certain that China is not being advantaged in this, and America disadvantaged, of course, let’s put this issue on the table and talk about it,” she said.

“When you talk about securing our nation, that is where Greenland comes into the conversation, and being strategic and how we’re going to keep this nation safe,” she continued. “That is what Americans want to see.”

Blackburn said it was up to the House and Senate, both of which will soon be controlled by Republicans, to take action when Trump retakes office to reflect allegiance to him and “get things done for the American people.”

While Trump spouts off on many issues on Truth Social, The New York Times reported Monday that his expansionist bent appears to be serious.
