PRESIDENT TRUMP on EUROPE: They just gave the United States the greatest gift we were ever given. Do you know what it was? Greenland.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Greenland remains a self-governing territory of Denmark and was not given to the United States. A September 2026 security agreement expands US military cooperation but reaffirms Danish sovereignty over the island.

Met with Venezuelan Foreign Minister @oliverblanco today. Reconciliation and institutional reform are Venezuela’s path to an enduring republic. The United States will keep supporting this Venezuelan-led process, which is laying the groundwork for free, fair, and credible elections.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: When you add up the United States' oil and Venezuela's, we have over 50% of the world's oil. But think of it differently; we now have more than Saudi Arabia, Russia, and take the next largest country combined. Nobody even thought that was possible.
There is no human right to illegal immigration, but there is a right to remain a sovereign nation.
We want to remain a sovereign nation, and so should you.
In Atlanta, @SecRubio led @G20org countries back to their core mission: Drive economic growth and strengthen economic security.
The United States will continue leading these efforts with our partners in December at the G20 Leaders’ Summit in Miami, concluding our G20 presidency year with results and wins for the American people and the world.
Under @SecRubio's leadership, the State Department has undertaken an unprecedented review of U.S. visa holders, resulting in the revocations of over 300,000 visas -- the most in American history.

In 2025, the Bureau of Consular Affairs established a Continuous Vetting Center in Washington, D.C., which revoked over 23,000 of these visas. Of these, the majority were revoked for criminal activity or other public safety concerns, including 25 percent for assault and related crimes, 22 percent for driving under the influence, 7 percent for theft, and 7 percent for substance abuse or distribution.

A visa is a privilege, not a right. Under @SecRubio's leadership, we will continue to ensure that those who violate our laws are not permitted to remain in our country.

SECRETARY RUBIO on THE HOUTHIS: They would not have the capabilities they have today, had it not been for the support, the direct support, of the Iranian regime.
SECRETARY RUBIO on GREENLAND DEAL: We will never have to worry about it being a place where a potential adversary, through commercial means, can gain access to things that would be harmful to any of our countries.
SECRETARY RUBIO: Energy costs are embedded in the costs of everything we buy and everything we pay for, which is why the U.S.'s energy dominance and self-sustainability policies are so important.
SECRETARY RUBIO: The President doesn't view talks, doesn't view meeting with someone, as a concession.
SECRETARY RUBIO: The President's preference in any challenge around the world is to try to solve it diplomatically and peacefully, if possible.
