Trump deal to purchase Greenland?

[quintessentone]

Greenlanders have made it clear, they don't want to be Danish nor American.

Hope they get their choice of rule.

If they are negotiating for best terms that is the position to work from to get the best deal…

The best deal is not invasion.

[pianopraze]

Is this true?

I thought it was bill authorizing him to negotiate…

Did they make one for an offer or is that all just semantics and it is the same?



here is what Grok says:

The "Make Greenland Great Again Act" is a legislative proposal introduced by House Republicans, aimed at authorizing the President of the United States to negotiate with the Kingdom of Denmark for the acquisition of Greenland. According to the draft of the bill, this authorization would begin at 12:01 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on January 20, 2025, which coincides with the inauguration of a new presidential term. The bill outlines the requirement that within 5 calendar days of reaching an agreement with Denmark, the President must submit the agreement, along with all related materials and annexes, to the appropriate congressional committees.

I hope this bill passes. It will be a great day for the United States and an even better day for the people of Greenland.

Imagine if DT does grab a hold of Greenland, be a huge step forward for the US

1) The Arctic Circle is undeniably a strategic concern for anyone fantasizing about military conflict in the hemisphere.

As we all mostly all aware, transnational entities and 1st world powers always manifest obsessively-focused military fantasies, their media 'partners' echo and amplify this reality with due relish... profiting both financially and politically in the extreme.  We, the citizens of the planet are subject to the "show" 24/7.

2) The Arctic Circle is undeniably a economic concern for anyone fantasizing about natural resource exploitation.

The global monopoly that is the Uni-Bank encourages anything the engenders revenue streams which they feed on... the media/gambling empire calls out 'investment opportunities' and cite things like "job creation" to obfuscate the nature of their massive gains... speaking of these opportunities as if they had no cost, only profit.

3) The Arctic Circle is undeniably a political concern for the 'show business' of political posturing.

There is a certain glee present in the idea of the territorial 'expansion,' there is also a virtue-signaling opportunity in openly present harsh criticism of the potential change.  I anticipate a "talking head" show will soon ply their 'wisdom' to the topic... it should be fun to examine their 'process.'


Unfortunately, the rather small population of Greenland is poised to be either oppressed or elevated by the development... but in no way is this about the people of Greenland (you may have noticed... somehow Denmark is the main focus... not Greenland directly.)

I will be interested to see how the Globalists posture and make use of this idea... which I believe ultimately is a distraction... but think tanks make vast wealth playing with these open social discussions...  While the United States may actually benefit the regional population, are we in a position to convince them that is so?  And if we let the politicians 'play the game' will it not only be a pack bullshit lies and promises?

Or could it be that Greenlanders do possess some "pride" in their would-be sovereignty?  And what is that sovereignty actually worth when the globalist wolves are already at the door?

So the root cause of Trump's needing to acquire Greenland's resources, he says, is economic security.

 

Trump made the remarks at a free-wheeling news conference at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, less than two weeks before he is sworn in for his second term as president on 20 January.
 
Asked if he would rule out using military or economic force in order to take over Greenland or the Panama Canal, Trump said: "No, I can't assure you on either of those two.
 
"But I can say this, we need them for economic security."

From what I am reading, it appears raising the debt ceiling vote will likely not go Trump's way.

If taxes were raised for both the ultra wealthy and big corporations it is estimated the government could raise the following amounts:

From AI search:

Taxing billionaires and corporations could raise billions of dollars annually, which could help fund global crises and reduce poverty.  Billionaires

• A 2% tax on the wealth of 2,700 billionaires could raise $250 billion annually.
  
• A 5% wealth tax on the world's billionaires and multi-millionaires could raise $1.7 trillion annually.
  
• A global minimum tax of 2% on billionaires could encourage countries to tax their wealthiest at higher rates.  
  

Corporations

• A global minimum tax of 15% on multinational corporations could raise an additional $250 billion annually.
  
• A windfall tax on oil and gas companies could raise revenue for the government.

I hope this bill passes. It will be a great day for the United States and an even better day for the people of Greenland.

Whether they like it or not........

As far as I could tell Trump was elected on what effectively were Isolationist policies concentrating on putting America first and setting things right domestically.
All of a sudden all we are hearing is Expansionist policies, quite the opposite of his election rhetoric.
