As Dan Karpenchuk reports, he says the Trump administration is more interested in stealing resources than in national security concerns. Bob Ray says it's an obvious abuse of power, adding that he doesn't know why people are afraid to use the words. He says everything the president does has an economic component, and he doesn't agree with Trump's view that Greenland is crucial to both the U.S.
and the world's security. Ray, who was Canada's ambassador to the U.N. from 2020 to November of 2025, says it's all about the interests of the U.S. and of investors who are close to the president. He also describes Washington's actions as gunboat diplomacy, creating a crisis and then stealing resources. And Ray says any of Trump's concerns about national security could be handled through NATO.
Any U.S. incursion would undermine U.S. credibility and damage the NATO alliance. For NPR News, I'm Dan Karpenchuk in Toronto. And you're listening to NPR News.
