This is simply Trump backing down whilst being allowed to save face for his domestic audience.
There's never been an issue with allowing U.S. bases in Greenland, which is all that this deal will achieve.
Trump wanted a land grab, Europe and Canada stood together, the markets got spooked, Trump backed down. It's a common pattern.
All he's achieved is to sow further distrust with his allies, and show them how to defeat his bullshit and bluster. Not at all smart, but then as his demonstrates when he talks, he's a rather stupid man.
Thats what I was saying in previous posts and why he was never going to be taking it by force. It’s standard Trump playbook. Likely there will be some agreement around access to rare earths and protection though. The bluster was totally unnecessary and extra strange in this instance….as I say he’s lost it to some extent
And it's that kind of apathetic attitude that's got us to this point. If everyone thought like that, the world would be a much, much worse place right now.

Not just to some extent, mate, he's lost it completely unless he really is doing Putin's work for him.
He's literally achieved nothing for the U.S. here beyond what they would have been welcome to anyway, but he's lost the trust of his key European allies and set them further on the path of disengagement.
Trump is either a lunatic or Putin's stooge. Possibly both. The U.S. is not stronger for all this latest nonsense, it's weaker.

Cognitively speaking there’s no way you can’t operate at the required level with all the decisions that need to be made, travelling etc etc at his age, let alone add another three years. That’s before you bring ego and greed into it
Parking any party politics, to have Biden and now Trump as leader of the free world is worrying. surely they’ve got to bring in an age limit

The people who were loudly declaring that Kamala Harris would have been a disaster in this respect are rightly quiet at the moment. Far from perfect but she would not have ruined America's alliances and international standing in record time like this maniac has.
