Speaker Johnson says US not at war with Greenland as everybody knows geopolitical importance going back to Truman

House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana tells reporters at Republicans' first weekly leadership news conference of 2026 that the United States not at war with Greenland and had no intention of being it as they had no reason to be at war with Greenland, everybody knew there was geopolitical and strategic importance of that land mass and that was what everyone had talked about as this was not just President Trump but went back to Truman, emphasized Truman like many presidents had acknowledged strategic placement of Greenland and how important that could be to their country and President talked about rare earth minerals and other things through diplomatic channels so all this stuff about military action they did not think it was possibility and they did not think anybody was seriously considering that.
