US, Greenland & Denmark US can build, Non-Nato can not

Wednesday, September 23, 2026

Donald Trump and the leaders of Greenland and Denmark signed an agreement with no expiration date Tuesday that permits a larger US military presence in Greenland. The agreement, signed during Trump's visit to the United Nations General Assembly in New York, expands American military access and cooperation in the Arctic as the United States responds to the growing presence of Russia and China in the region. I believe this agreement provides a practical path toward a safer and more positive future for America.

Trump could have gotten everything he wanted here, because the United States already had everything wanted here. He created a crisis and now congratulates himself for achieving nothing at all.

Who did we have better relations with than Denmark, before Trump went crazy? They won't look at us in the same way. Maybe ever.

Trump successfully wipes his ass and demands recognition.

Donald Trump got Greenland to the point of blowing up its own airfields, for Christ's sake.

This is the Planet of the Apes and its a madhouse.

Zed,

Trump closed the southern border

Trump is protecting US from being attacked from the North.

Now he needs to fix the voting problem so that it's accurate.

What? How?

Who are you lying to?

The southern border is the same as it was before Trump was elected.

The only thing that changed was our right wing media stopped their sensationalist propaganda.

At least stick to cheering on Trump signing an agreement with Denmark.

Yea. But you have to realize, BillJohnson is part of the 29% of Americans who are die hard MAGA trumpers and cheer on his complete destruction of what our country once was.

Brown and black people scare BillJohnson and Trump is fixing that for him.

It's all he cares about.

Zed,

Why do you hate America?

Greenland was an excellent deal.

What Deplorable Trumping MAGAts don't understand is Greenland was already part of NATO.

So Trump committing to "defend it" is actually what NATO was intended for.

All of this is nothing more than desperation by Trump to say he did something.

@#11 ... Greenland was an excellent deal. ...

It was an addition to a treaty that was already in place.

Some new items, but mostly, just repeating a lot of what was already in place.

Pres Trump, as usual, tries to make his deals out to be the best thing ever.

But one aspect that lingers for me, and I have mentioned this before, does the end justify the means?

In other words, Greenland and Denmark were willing to discuss getting to this point from the very beginning. Discuss, no threats needed.

Yet Pres Trump chose to take the "threaten to take Greenland from Denmark" approach, causing long-term damage to the US-Europe friendship in the process.

So, yes, the deal has some benefits, but did Pres Trump really need to accost our nearly century-long allies in order to attain the deal? Is he that bad of an negotiator?

-Why do you hate America?

He doesn't. He just wants you to think he does.

Because he's not getting what he wants.

He's on a 2+ year temper tantrum.

similar to a child who is being denied his candy.

Only 32 countries can build military bases in Greenland. Well, that's a big win.
