US lobbied Greenland rare earth firm not to sell to China.

Note the involvement of the firm "CRITICAL METALS" and its connection to Howard Lutnick, a Trump nominee for the Department of Commerce.

JD: A deal to be made in Greenland.

Mike Waltz: Greenland is pushing for independence which would allow all types of other avenues.

Mike Waltz is Trump's pick for National Security Advisor.

Newsmax is important in this instance. It gives insights on the internal musings of the Trump hierarchy.

Here is the same from Yahoo but with snippet of public reaction in the commentary.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/exclu...211341489.html

US is going to achieve its goal in Greenland without firing a shot. Over time a good segment of the public will become sympathetic to Trump's main projection that the US should control Greenland.

Trump is a master of the utility of noise amplification.

Greenland PM ready to 'talk' to Trump.
Damn! This is a good sign for Trump...The name of the PM is Mute and he wants to talk.
But what does the U.S. have to offer them. To be part of the DJT shit show? To be part of the GOP dream of a plutacracy? If they've been paying any attention to what's going on here they'll want no part of it.

It is easier and cheaper for great Powers to find/create amenable leaders.

I will be amazed if Greenland accepts to become as corrupted by the GOP as the U.S. has. Not saying it'll never happen but I would be shocked and awed. I generally think they're smarter than that and not driven by greed.

What works heavily in US favor is that the population of Greenland cannot fill a good size stadium.

Neither will a trump rally. However I'd wage the IQ of the average Greenlander is higher than the average MAMAmoron. I doubt the spend their waking ours watching FAUX news* either.
Look, I get it. trump thinks it's a good idea so you think it's a good idea.
