Shortly after the White House issued that military threat against the territory of a NATO ally, the New York Times reported that in a closed-door briefing today, Secretary of State Marco Rubio told lawmakers that Trump plans to buy Greenland.
Trump has reportedly gone as far as asking his aides to actually draft a plan for how the U.S.
could acquire the territory.
So is the plan to invade Greenland?
Is it to buy it?
I don't know.
Frankly, I don't know if anyone knows.
We still don't even really know what the Trump administration's plan is in Venezuela.
It's been more than three days, remember, since Trump used the U.S.
military to capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife.
But it wasn't until last night that the Trump administration started briefing Congress.
For roughly two hours last night, top Trump administration officials briefed the bipartisan group of top congressional leaders and intelligence committee chairs known as the Gang of Eight.
Now, that meeting was classified and behind closed doors.
But luckily for us, a member, a key member of the Gang of Eight who was in that meeting is joining me now.
Senator Mark Warner is the vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee and a member of the Gang of Eight.

We've talked about the crazy national security policy of this administration.

So let me just start by asking for your reaction to the White House threatening military force in Greenland or, I guess, Trump reportedly asking aides to come up with a plan for how to buy it.
