Unclear what he means at this point, my hunch is it means allowing for a larger US military presence in Greenland but no transfer of ownership, watching a live interview with Trump now and he’s definitely avoiding any implication that Greenland will be “owned” by the US.

This whole nonsense could have been avoided if dumbfuck would have just petitioned to install more military bases in Greenland in cooperation with our allies rather than bully and threaten them and almost start a war... but oh no.. dumbfuck pedophile rapist in queen just loves chicanery and to be in control of everything.

I could be wrong, but I think the US agreement with Denmark gives the US the ability to just build a new base if it wants to. He could have just done it.

I think there are 2 reasons why he didn't go this route:

Bringing in a new state would be a big political win for him.
Greenland is rich in mineral deposits that the US can't have without making Greenland part of its territory.
