Yep, why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free.

But now we have to go to City Hall (Denmark and the E.U.) to get permits and they will have a lot of knowledge of what, where and how we build.

If Greenland becomes a U.S. territory, those roadblocks are removed.

Looks better for them on the world scene when they grant the US permission

Many already are, here in Huntsville on the local news posts on Facebook. They are bringing up the TACO acronym and memes under comments. I guess they have no understanding how negotiations work and people can change their mind on deals.

The word sovereignty means it's our land. Not sure if that is the current case. I guess in theory they could kick us out unless we have sovereignty. Not sure about the rare earths.

But we weren't certain we could keep China and Russia out. Trump is right Russia and China should be kept out of the Western Hemisphere. I'd didn't care for all of his methods but I totally agreed with his goals

Danish authorities were probably given a map and told that we want bases here, here, here and here. Sign off on them today even if we don't build them for 10 years or ever. Thanks!

Exactly, but Donny thinks he made a "Deal" for already existing things Greenland.

Just expand the footprint and save the drama, look over there.

That's all we need, and TRUMP will accept that. He is interested in investing in the minerals, which will make the Greenies rich!
Why wouldn't they accept that deal?

I wish I lived in Greenland now!!!!!!

Same people who accuse Trump of being a king and acting like a dictator are also mocking him for backing down?

Make it make sense !
