Lankford Discusses Iran, Greenland, and March for Life on Durant's KLBC Radio

There is no plan to Go occupy Greenland or to go militarily attack it. And I know there's a lot that's spinning out there saying that the President wants to go take over Greenland. The President's been pretty clear. He wants a very close cooperation and would not mind buying Greenland. There's only about 56,000 people that live in the entire country of Greenland. So just think about that. Not 56 million, 56,000 people in the entire giant country of Greenland. (07:57–08:03)
