President Donald Trump says he has a deal with Denmark to bolster the U.S. military presence in Greenland. The announcement comes after months of threatening to take the island by force from the NATO ally.

    No, it’s what I read from the Arctic policy experts in the trusted media I follow.

    But if you have a different analysis I’m always interested.

      Just the personal experience of living under this regime for the past 2.5 years.

        I’m not saying it’s somehow okay what Trump has done. What I’m saying is that it’s more a capitulation on his end than a subjugation of Greenland.

        This does not mean we can relax. This does not mean this is a good thing. It means that disaster is averted for now, and he’s committing to a narrative about him having won, which will buy us some time and resources to focus on more important things.

        From a non-US perspective at least.
