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.
DT: "We’re getting everything we wanted — total security, total access to everything.”

Citing an official U.S. source: "if Greenland were to gain independence from Denmark, the U.S. still wants unrestrained access."
"The U.S. official said they want to ensure access to Greenland will last 'forever' and 'for infinity'."
