    Read the deal they signed, don’t believe Trump’s lies about it. It’s similar to the previous deal, but with a smaller US presence in Greenland going forward. And it includes an explicit acknowledgement of Denmark’s soveriegnty over Greenland.

      I have read it, and it’s not some 4d chess move by Denmark. Trump’s claims of victory are besides the point, Denmark shouldn’t have even entertained his threats or gone to the negotiating table. It just reinforces Trump’s belief that he can strongarm anyone. European leaders grovelling has been truly embarrassing in general, spineless leadership.

        My point was that those are a lie. You’ve provided nothing concrete to contradict that.
