In this clip from Episode 62 of Going Rogue with Lara Logan, Serbian businessman Bogolub Karić explains why Greenland sits at the center of global energy and security strategy. Karić recounts how he personally wrote to both President Donald Trump and President Vladimir Putin, arguing that Greenland is far more than ice and snow. In his view, it holds the key to Europe’s long term energy stability.
Karić says Europe is currently one hundred percent dependent on Russian energy, creating a dangerous contradiction as Western leaders confront Moscow while relying on it for survival. He contrasts this with President Trump’s approach, describing him as a businessman and strategist focused on development rather than war.
The conversation expands into rare earth minerals beneath Greenland’s ice, American military assets already stationed there, and why Greenland is critical to US national security. Karić also discusses strategic opportunities in Venezuela and Cuba, pointing to vast oil and gas reserves that remain untapped due to poor leadership and mismanagement.
Going Rogue with Lara Logan EP. 62 THE TRUMP EFFECT From Belgrade, Serbia
And when I write and share an idea Trump and Putin
When do you write letters
Yes letters I'm telling Putin and Trump to do it in Greenland
In Greenland yes
In Greenland all European politicians
and others think it's just
Spine Just a spine Spine and snow
The ridge and the snow But Trump is a different man
Trump is a different kind of person but God gave him something unique
And he sees that business in Greenland needs to be
Serbian Energy for Central Russia and the USA
Europe powered by energy 100%
Europe is facing an energy crisis
right now probably Can you seize it
Yes but our country's president Vučić has a good idea
And our company had a federal venture with Russia
our petroleum company Vučić is changing that
And that company formed a joint venture with MOL
The company purchases MOL from Hungary and MOL
With SAAD overseeing Kosovo Serbia and Hungary
and other countries and I think that company
It must be a federal state in association with the United States
Could you explain to people how much
Europe relies on Russia for energy
Zero percent Europe without
Trump but Trump has a channel to make it happen
A good strategy with Russia and to finish the energy issue
For Europe for thousands of years No war President Trump
He's no man for war President Trump has many ideas
Trump is a man who can develop the country America all nations
All military Everything that Trump harnesses energy
Across Europe over thousands of years Greenland was the center
Greenland was the center of it What we said in Greenland
e metals the rare earths the minerals all energy
Everyone beneath the people Many Americans didn't understand
Why Trump keeps talking about Greenland But the U S is threatening
Hundreds of millions of dollars annually to remember Greenland
The SA has nuclear military personnel stationed in Greenland
The SAD has one military base but also other military assets
What's being talked about in Greenland Greenland has
Of great significance to the U S as it means you can come
within 2 to 3 minutes of intercontinental ballistic missiles
reaching the U S Greenland is critical to American defense
military The U S is threatening hundreds of millions of dollars in order to
It speaks of Greenland securely but the Chinese and Russian
He remembered For many Americans it wasn't funny
Absolutely a global policy The leader wants to be in Jurisia
Both Russia and the blockade of Greenland
but Greenland is extremely important
If Biden were president that would be possible but Trump
He is president and neither China nor Russia will get
Greenland Greenland is absolutely ours the United States
So you wrote about Trump's Greenland proposal last year
Absolutely What's your idea
That applies to Cuba to Venezuela—this is a strategic vision
In Venice and Cuba people live in very large numbers
And there's gas oh so much so much more resources
Yes Venezuela has the largest natural oil reserves in the world
But there's no management How do we make use of it
America knows it America is using it
How can we use it to make our land rich
And I'm sure that 100% Venezuela
will be the next country in ten years
It could be ten times richer than it is now
Cuba and Cuba
When I wanted Trump's summer vacation
Cuba must become the new Florida for the United
States Florida
Now Venice Off
the coast of Florida a new Cuba which is already here
America now has a president
It's like saying the
president is a tsunami
It says something and the world will
know And following the arrest of President Maduro
and his wife
All presidents around the world are taking
Trump very seriously and
he will be 100% certain
Peace is made in every war
around the world
In Ukraine Russia
He's started trying it in Ukraine but hasn't had success so far
No no we have everything
I know that Putin and Trump have special allies and
they're doing everything they can to make it happen
And many are quickly signing up
Perhaps in Ukraine
Maybe in Emirates Who knows
Will you be there when it's time to sign
I have that position but
I have an official position but what about a personal one
Yes yes
It would be great if you'd call me I want to be ready
Hey guys you’ve gotta call me—I’d love to be there
I'd be happy to be with you
And I'll offer many ideas Putin and Trump
for many global positioning scenarios
