Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Buying Greenland, His Trip to Panama, and How to End the Russia-Ukraine War | Ep. 995

His policies generally have been, I'll meet with any world leader. I'll engage with any world leader. That doesn't mean just because you're meeting with him, you're giving anything away, but he's willing to engage. In the case of China, there's two things. I've just described one, which is the grave threat that they pose to our national interests.

And the other is the mature realization that no matter what happens, China is going to be a rich and powerful country. We are going to have to deal with them. In fact, and I said this in my call with their foreign minister, but I've said this publicly, the history of the 21st century will largely be about what happened between the US and China.

So, for us to pretend that somehow we're not going to engage with them is absurd. Now, we should engage on our national interests. That is, engagement and concessions are two different things. What's been horrifying is that for 25 or 30 years, we've treated China as a developing country, and we allowed them to continue to do things that were unfair.

We said, go ahead, let them cheat on trade, let them steal our technology, because when they get rich, they'll become just like us. They became rich. They did not become like us. And now they want to continue to have these unfair benefits. That has to stop. And they built up their military. Their military, their industrial capacity, but all over the world, their control of critical minerals.

Again, I go back to them because people don't think about it. Buying up land in the United States. Buying up farming land in the United States in particular as well because they need to produce food and they want to be able to control that. They're doing it because it's in their national interest.

They are doing, frankly, what I would do, maybe not the human rights violations, but they are doing what anyone would do if they were the leader of China. They are acting in China's best interest. What's been missing is American policy that acts in our best interest, and that needs to return.

Well, the Arctic, which has gotten very little attention, but the Arctic Circle and the Arctic region is going to become critical for shipping lanes. How do you get some of this energy that's going to be produced under President Trump? These energies rely on shipping lanes. The Arctic is some of the most valuable shipping lanes in the world.

As some of the ice is melting, it's become more and more navigable. We need to be able to defend that. So if you project what the Chinese have done, it is just a matter of time before, because they are not an Arctic power. They do not have an Arctic presence. So they need to be able to have somewhere that they can stage from.
