      Signed, very good. No details other than they plan to build more bases there. That’s going to be expensive and pointless, but ok.

      In Copenhagen, 40-year-old barber Gavin Sharpe told AFP: “It’s just the same situation.”

      He believes that Trump’s messaging was meant to win over US voters, adding that “I think it is exactly the same deal they had before.”

      . . . Under a 1951 defense pact updated in 2004, Washington was already able to ramp up its military presence on the island provided it informed Denmark and Greenland in advance.

      Yeah, there’s language that a non-NATO, non-EU country can’t build military bases there, so, uh, win. I guess? But as an agreement, the whole thing’s a big puffy nothing. Unless there’s something in the other 9 pages that’s a real shocker.
