Thomas Dans, identified in reporting as a former Trump administration official, suggested that U.S. control of Greenland could allow direct access to its seafood resources and restore all-you-can-eat shrimp promotions at Red Lobster by bypassing intermediaries. The claim appears in a New York Post article citing a New Yorker profile, with partial corroboration from The Independent. Multiple details about Dans's background and prior roles remain unverified and sourced to a single outlet.
