Why does everyone keep taking Trump at face value? His security concerns are a cover for the resources American companies want to extract from Greenland.
Unless the offer is everything is free and the US gets to control its territorial waters then it’s not a good enough deal to them. Again, why buy when you can steal.
Moreover, it is possible that this is one of his hander’s favourite strategies. He’s making a lot of smoke about the whole Greenland thing, so he is trying to bury something bad in the news. Potentially how staple item prices are going to skyrocket in the US when your oil, lumber and more than half of your raw minerals cost 25% more.
I’m not sure they’d do it militarily but it would handily break the western alliance. I’m just hoping Americans have the courage and willpower to take to the streets. Because at that point it will be obvious that Trump is destroying everything we’ve built for decades.

The ones Greenland offered to negotiate a deal for?
Don’t need a deal if you just steal it.
Don’t need to steal it if it’s offered to you… I don’t understand… That’s going to be my motto for the next 4 years. I expect it’ll only get worse

Yeah. This is 1800’s banana company level stuff.

Because Greenland is open for business without the threats. Arguably, it’s less open for business now.
This isn’t post world war 2 global trade, this is 19th century global trade. They want full control.
Then they can get fucked, the EU will defend Greenland’s (prospective) sovereignty.
