By July 1, certain USAID functions will be reorganized within departments. The State Department also plans to shut down USAID operations that do not align with administrative priorities. Rubio criticized USAID for deviating from its core mission, leading to high costs with minimal benefits. Earlier this year, the US administration had already paused foreign aid for 90 days through an executive order.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has stated that America must "take over" Greenland to ensure global stability.

He criticized Denmark’s leadership for underinvesting in Greenland’s security infrastructure, stating, "Our dispute isn’t with the people of Greenland but with Denmark’s leadership."

Speaking at a press conference in Guyana, Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated, "We are doing this every day. Whenever we find protesters involved, we revoke their visas." He warned that if this policy continues, there will soon be no protesting students left. "We granted them visas to study, not to become social activists or disrupt our campuses," he added.

While Russia is not directly involved in the territorial claims over Greenland, Moscow is concerned that NATO countries are increasingly strategizing to use the Arctic region in potential conflicts.

As a result, affected individuals could receive up to $10,000 in compensation.
