Stephen Miller Defends US Right to Seize Foreign Resources

During a contentious CNN appearance, Miller framed the administration’s foreign policy as an unapologetic exercise of superpower authority. He argued that allowing nations in the U.S. "backyard" to supply resources to rivals is unacceptable, signaling a shift toward aggressive territorial and economic expansion. Senator Bernie Sanders criticized the remarks as a clear definition of imperialism, warning that such rhetoric mirrors the exploitation typical of historical colonial powers.

The administration’s stance has already moved beyond rhetoric. Following the U.S. military’s bombing of Venezuela and the abduction of President Nicolás Maduro, the White House continues to target the nation’s vast oil reserves. Similarly, Miller declared that Greenland "should be part of the United States," dismissing concerns over Danish sovereignty. While he claimed a takeover of the Arctic territory would not require military force, the threat has prompted an emergency response from the Danish government, with Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen warning that any U.S. attack on a NATO ally would shatter the international security framework.
