As President Donald Trump has accelerated his push to acquire Greenland, lawmakers, administration advisers and diplomats are scrambling to redirect his ambitions toward acceptable alternatives that would satisfy his deal-making impulses while avoiding territorial acquisition.
Among the options under discussion: enhanced commercial and economic agreements, and a compact of free association, similar to U.S. arrangements with the Marshall Islands and Palau that would exchange a military presence for economic benefits.
Greenlanders and Danes strongly suspect that Trump isn’t motivated by national security but by more sinister agendas tied to his billionaire allies. People with close ties to Scandinavian embassies say that diplomats have speculated that Trump’s allies in the tech world are interested in the island as a source of mineral wealth and additional real estate and space for data processing, treating the takeover of the island as the geopolitical equivalent of a series A fundraising round.

Trump’s narcissism LOVES how this gives him attention. Its all about creating chaos, getting in the news, and letting others scramble to placate him.
He even said he „needs it psychologically“ in the nytimes interview.
He loves this dance. Others love manipulating it (Miller).

I think we should stop paying attention to puppet and look at who’s holding his strings…..this nonsense is all about resource extraction fights that Environmental Groups in Greenland has been winning. All the American tech oligarchs want what isn’t theirs and pointed their orange senile puppet in that direction.

>Finding an alternative that would satisfy Trump’s deal-making impulses while avoiding territorial acquisition has become urgent for lawmakers and diplomats. Among the options under discussion: enhanced commercial and economic agreements, and a compact of free association, similar to U.S. arrangements with the Marshall Islands and Palau that would exchange a military presence for economic benefits, according to people involved with some of the discussions.
So let’s say Trump agreed to an alternative deal, what would guarantee Trump won’t go back on his words later ? Nothing. And then European leaders would scramble to get him something else ?
