He’s got one move when it comes to dealmaking and this is it

Well actually, he usually makes a worse deal, so for him this is a tiny win.

Oh, that’s true.

Trump "won"the deal that prevents Chinese and russian bases being deployed.. on NATO protected territory.

It really is lowest common denominator slop. Believe anything you hear so some tool can save face from yet another geopolitical disaster.

Is anyone surprised?

A joint statement released by the office of Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Jens-Frederik Nielsen, who chairs the Naalakkersuisut—Greenland’s governing body—confirmed that “Greenland, Denmark, and the United States are expected to sign an agreement on strengthened security in the Arctic and the North Atlantic area next week” at the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

Frederiksen stressed that the agreement “recognizes the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Kingdom [of Denmark] and the Greenlandic people’s right to self-determination,” while Nielsen said the pact “is to the benefit of us all.”

While the official text of the deal is not yet public, observers said it is unclear how it differs from the terms of a Cold War-era agreement that already gives the US broad military access to Greenland.

The difference is that the new deal more explicitly outlines sovereignty related issues that used to be considered obvious.
