Trump Reaches Framework Greenland Deal

“The world wants to know how you did the deal sir.” “It’s a really good deal for everybody.” “Do you still plan to acquire Greenland?” “Really good.” “Does it still include the United States having ownership of Greenland like you’ve said you wanted?” “It’s a long-term deal. It’s the ultimate long-term deal, and I think it puts everybody in a really good position. Thank you very much.” “What I don’t hear is Greenland still — is it still under the Kingdom of Denmark in this framework deal?” “That issue did not come up anymore in my conversations tonight with the president. He’s very much focused on what do we need to do to make sure that that huge Arctic region, where change is taking place at the moment, where the Chinese and Russians are more and more active, how we can protect it.” “Mr. Rutte, is it a good deal?” “I think it was a very good meeting tonight, but still a lot of work to be done, but I’ve got to go.” “I don’t have to use force. I don’t want to use force. I won’t use force. All the United States is asking for is a place called Greenland.” “It makes me super relieved, but again, you never know. I still feel like everything, everything can happen.” “I do think that he still really wants to take Greenland. I try not to think too much about it because it can be so consuming.”
