"For all intents and purposes, the meeting between DT and the NATO chief did in fact cede something: parcels of Greenland for the U.S. to expand its military presence and put its lust for minerals to work.

For NATO, this is about countering Russia and China, which, taken separately, is a smart move.

For DT, it's about acquiring Greenland, "

The Europeans simply do not understand what they're up against in #Trump

Trump is a pathological liar

#MarkRutte in particular is completely in over his head, and completely out of his league

It's way past time these sober European "adults" wake up and see #Trump for what he really is and has always been, and act accordingly

Trump will simply lie and claim repeatedly that he got everything he demanded from Rutte in Greenland

Rutte will smile weakly and look contrite and continue with his appeasement

Last year, #NATO Secretary General #MarkRutte appeared to jokingly liken #Trump to a “daddy” intervening in a schoolyard brawl, & Trump has repeated that line with evident pleasure, including at #Davos. He seems to enjoy even insincere flattery because it shows that he is so powerful, people have to fake their admiration for him.

#Trump enjoys using America’s vast #strength — built over generations — almost for sport. He placed #tariffs on #Switzerland, & then raised them sky high because the Swiss president, he said, “rubbed [him] the wrong way.” He relished recounting how quickly the Swiss came to him seeking relief. This was less strategy than a #power play.

Call it what you will, this is a surrender.

For all intents and purposes, the meeting between DT and the NATO chief did in fact cede something: parcels of Greenland for the U.S. to expand its military presence and put its lust for minerals to work. For NATO, this is about countering Russia and China, which, taken separately, is a smart move. For DT, it's about acquiring Greenland, which means that he got what he wanted and he's going to hit the EU on the head with it - repeatedly. Let's hope Denmark signed off on that.

Does that sound sane to you? You're giving a jaded military power that's threatening to swallow Greenland your trust and the run of the island? And you're sure it's not going to do with it what it did in Venezuela? Concessions embolden DT. He sees them as a weakness and a sign that he can get whatever he wants.

Here's what we know about Trump's 'framework' of a Greenland deal

Even though President Donald Trump announced he had reached a "framework" of a deal with NATO over Greenland's future, he continues to be light on details.

#Rutte also said the intensified #Arctic effort would not drain resources in support of #Ukraine.
Asked if #NATO #allies can take #Trump at his word, Rutte responded: "You can always take Donald Trump at his word".
Trump on Wednesday said the US would not use force to pursue his ambition to acquire #Greenland & later dropped the threat of additional #tariffs against some of Washington's European allies & fellow NATO members over the issue.

WTAF?

#NATO chief∶ Issue of whether #Greenland stays with #Denmark did not come up with #Trump

Rutte made his comments in an interview on FauxNews' "Special Report with Bret Baier" show.

Earlier, Trump abruptly stepped back from threats to impose #tariffs as leverage to seize Greenland, ruled out the use of force, & said a deal was in sight to end a dispute over the Danish territory.

#MarkRutte secretary general of #NATO has NO direct connection to #Denmark government, who is #Trump kidding‼️
He is trying to fool, we the people, US.

Trump is showing the world, that his #TACO deal was just a #TrumpDistraction

#LawrenceODonnell has been saying it's a distraction, for weeks now on #MSNOW

#Trump said that VP #JDVance, Secy of State #MarcoRubio, the special envoy #SteveWitkoff & other officials would continue to lead negotiations on #Greenland. But it seemed that #MarkRutte, the secretary general of #NATO, was able to successfully de-escalate tension with Trump after days of threats & insults against European leaders who resisted his territorial expansion.

The whole issue disappeared...
"after a one-on-one meeting with NATO’s Rutte, the ⭕one European leader who continues using ⭕flattery and ⭕praise to persuade Trump"

"...many have abandoned it ( #PraisingTrump) after it failed to keep #Trump from ending US military assistance to Ukraine, which was invaded by Russia four years ago"

#Trump claims he's reached a framework deal on #Greenland

Announcement came after he met with #NATO chief

He also said, based upon this understanding, he will not be imposing new tariffs scheduled to go into effect on February 1.

#MafiaState #imperialism #geopolitics #sovereignty #tariffs #economy #inflation #Denmark #Europe #law #InternationalLaw

Trump post: Based upon a very productive meeting that I have had with the Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte, we have formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic Region. This solution, if consummated, will be a great one for the United States of America, and all NATO Nations. Based upon this understanding, I will not be imposing the Tariffs that were scheduled to go into effect on February 1st. Additional discussions are being held concerning The Golden Dome as it pertains to Greenland. Further information will be made available as discussions progress. Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and various others, as needed, will be responsible for the negotiations - They will report directly to me. Thank you for your attention to this matter! DONALD J. TRUMP
