Trump's Greenland Deal Creates Chaos and Uncertainty
from Mallen Baker: Faultlines · host Mallen Baker
So Trump did a complete U-Turn on Greenland, and everything is now all right again. Right? Well, not so fast. Why hasn't this detail been written down, and how can the Trump administration have any trust for the process when, just a week ago, they immediately tried to reframe their discussions with Greenland to their own benefit? The fact is that the process of negotiating an 'off-ramp' deal seems just as likely to go horribly wrong as ... well, the last deal. So Denmark and Greenland are not happy. But still - rejoice! The Board of Peace has been launched. It's a truly bizarre creation - but it has a purpose not many people are talking about yet. Let's discuss.
