Tom Dans told The New Yorker\u2019s Ben Taub: \u201cMy view is that the United States could take all the seafood Greenland could produce, and cut out the middleman, and keep it from China \u2013 and you could bring back all-you-can-eat shrimp at Red Lobster.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\nDans, who previously worked at the Treasury Department during Trump\u2019s first term and served on a National Security Council task force focused on gaining control of the territory, is one of a small group of Americans the Danish government has identified as spearheading \u201cinfluence operations\u201d in Greenland, the outlet reported.<\/p>\n
Having never set foot on the island of roughly 57,000 people, Dans insisted that the U.S. annexation of the region is a no-brainer.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s nothing secret about the contours of the thing \u2013 if you study Greenland at all, you quickly arrive at the point that, you know, they\u2019re asset rich and cash poor,\u201d he told The New Yorker. \u201cSo, like, this is not a toughie, if you come from an investment-banking or dealmaking background, to solve.\u201d<\/p>\n
Greenland is famous for its cold-water shrimp (specifically the Northern shrimp, Pandalus borealis). These wild-caught prawns are a major export and a staple of the local diet, known for their firm texture, bright pink color, and sweet flavor.\u201d<\/p>\n
The takeaway for Fox and the Trump\/Vance administration is that they need to invade Greenland for shrimp and Cuba for new property developments<\/p>\n
