Greentanamo: Trump Deal Gives US Sovereignty Over Small Pockets Of Greenland For Military Bases
The NYT goes on to note that according to two of the officials, who attended the meeting, the deal compares “to the United Kingdom’s bases in Cyprus, which are regarded as British territory.”
In other words, while the US will go from having a military base in Greenland on semi-autonomous territory to… having a base in Greenland on autonomous territory, all Trump needs to do is change the name of the island to Greentanamo and declare victory, and the entire episode will be forgotten.

DJT modus operandi — coming in hard up front and then horse trade down to what he wanted in the first place! It is MASTER class sales technique & executed perfectly. You can win in negotiations like these by asking “please”! All those that were upset will now claim victory that they “talked him down” when in fact he lost nothing and gained much — very significant win for USA! The indigineous peoples of Greenland seem to be the big losers as their opportunity for “visibility” was crushed by this deal.
