This is how he will make Greenland American

The New York Times describes a number of meetings in the National Security Council, where the task was clear: Trump’s statements that would « have Greenland » be operationalized. It has resulted in concrete instructions for ministries and a public relations machine to sell the idea to the people on the world’s largest island-complete with campaigns on social media and direct communication to the Greenlandic people.

Trump has repeatedly said that Greenland is vital for US security, both nationally and globally. And when asked about the methods, he has not rejected the opportunity to use more drastic.

However, according to sources close to the process, military intervention has never been seriously evaluated – instead, the hards of persuasion are being paid to persuasion.

Officially, both Denmark and the Greenlandic authorities have repeatedly said no to any thought of a change of ownership. But the plans in Washington are developing anyway. For the Trump administration, it’s not about diplomacy as usual-it’s all about dollars in hand and geo-policy in the sight grain.

And while the idea may seem absurd, the United States is not unknown with territorial trades – Alaska, Hawaii and Louisiana were also sold once. The question is just whether Greenland is for sale. And at what price.
