President Donald Trump said he worked out a "complex" long-term deal for the U.S. to acquire Greenland with the NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on Wednesday.

NATO released a statement on Wednesday shortly after President Donald Trump announced he and NATO Secretary Secretary General Mark Rutte had “formed’ a “framework” of a deal on Greenland. The NATO statement came amid new reporting from the New York Times that deal may include the U.S. being given “sovereignty over small pockets” of land in Greenland.

    It’s probably right that Trump is overstating his win, but frankly any form of yielding to Trump is infuriating. If there is a deal that covers “the entire Arctic region” the details will be important. Countries in that region include Canada, Denmark, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia. One should not assume it’s a win for the Nato countries with more Trump regime forces in the region after the US has threatened invasion or annexation of two of them.

      The thing is, the US already has agreements that would allow them to stage a military presence in Greenland almost double the entire country’s permanent population. So no, this isn’t allowing them any kind of expanded presence. They already had that option any time they wanted to exercise it. But Trump, despite all his bullshit claims, had no actual interest in a US military presence in the Arctic region.
