    Whoa, hold your horses! I do have some idea.

    Of course DK did not just hand over all of Greenland, but in his artlessness of the deal, Trump simply aimed unrealistically high, and in the end still got some extra concessions out of it. That’s what I’m talking about: there was no reason to accomodate him at all. WRT military and iirc business interest in some areas of Greenland.

      And what concessions is that?
      USA has been allowed to have as many bases on Greenland they want since the 50’s. But have reduced them from 5 during the cold war to now only 1. But nothing has stopped USA from having more bases at any point.
      Trump has not been “accommodated” in any way. What part of there have been no negotiations on the issue is it you don’t understand?
