Not really. If you had any idea how in-bed China and Canada are you would sh** your pants.

This is a win for America so what’s your issue with it?

The greatest term ever - sad the rest of you have fallen for the propaganda that this is a bad term. So many wins

Why didn't Trump just ask for this in the first place?

You think Denmark, a member of NATO, wanted Russian or Chinese bases? You think Greenland didn't want investment?

Please read Art of the Deal. Trump always starts with an overreach so he ends up in a better final position. Traditional US starting positions have been closer to the middle, thus resulting in positions not as favorable.

In this example, the US probably would have ended up with a 25-50 year agreement and no restrictions on foreign investment.

ETA: two examples of “traditional” negotiation-the Panama Canal and Hong Kong

What concession do you think the Danes are making that they wouldn't have made before all the bluffing?

In 2018, a Chinese firm wanted to invest in Greenland’s new airport. The Danish government rejected that. Other than that, I couldn't find any attempted investments from US adversaries. The DANES REJECTED IT.

The Danes weren't going to allow non-NATO bases in Greenland.

Greenland has been begging for foreign investment.

Yes it is.

quote:

Beijing is slowly but surely expanding its Arctic footprint, largely through cooperation with Moscow. China is strengthening its Arctic presence through research and shipping

the Arctic holds abundant natural resources, including oil, gas, minerals and fish, with its untapped oil and gas reserves estimated to comprise about 25 percent of the world’s undiscovered resources.

After over a decade of dedicated efforts, China has achieved significant milestones in the Arctic. To date, China operates several scientific research stations in the region and has added two icebreakers to its fleet, which are capable of clearing paths for merchant ships in northern latitudes. China also secured observer status in the Arctic Council in 2013 and has established several agreements with Arctic nations for joint research and commercial endeavors in the Arctic Ocean.
