Trump Greenland security deal

    by Flint: Politics

    After months of negotiations, Denmark and Greenland came around to why this matters. The deal hands the United States permanent security rights over Greenland, and it keeps Russia and China from getting a foothold or making sensitive investments that could threaten us. A State Department official spelled it out: adversaries are barred from Greenland investments, and any non-NATO base is banned, which means China and Russia can't set up shop there or send troops. Trump posted that "we will immediately begin the process of developing a large military presence in the appropriate part of Greenland. We will work with the people of Greenland in its development and construction. This solution is a great one for the United States of America, Denmark, Greenland, and all of our allies." He's set to speak at the United Nations General Assembly. Venezuela, handled. Greenland, handled. Communist Cuba is in freefall. The Iranian threat is neutralized and Hormuz flows are surging. The Trump order is looking like a total success, and the masterclass label tracks.
