The most obvious candidates would be for a new series of radar installations to detect incoming ballistic missiles (to hit us many rockets would fly over Greenland) and potential interceptor sites.

This afternoon, the Beeb interviewed a former US Assistant Sec State, who said the entire kerfuffle was unnecessary. The US has basing rights already. The Beeb interviewed some Greenlanders. The decision was split, some thought it was fine, others don't want USians around. The Danish PM says it's great for Denmark and NATO.

The Danes are clearly learning impaired.

The text of the agreement has not yet been publicly released.

Trump declared NAFTA unacceptable and demanded more. The USMCA was signed in September 2018, and ratified by the US Congress in January 2020. It went into effect July 1 2020. Days after resuming power in 2025, less than one Trump-year after the treaty went into effect, Trump started imposing tariffs that violate the treaty. Trump gave Iran everything it wanted, with the MOU. That agreement lasted two months, without a resolution of the conflict. Trump's signature isn't worth spit. It may only be a matter of months before Trump starts demanding more from Greenland. Any student of Skinnerian behavior mod understands the futility of doing a "deal" with Trump: any concession, is positive reinforcement for him demanding more. Carney understands, and walked away.
