So Trump got exactly what he wanted.
Lucky Trump strikes again.
I read a moderately long article about Danish leaders mocking the agreement because all that Trump noise and effort for what amounts to the same old status quo agreement, there were still no details on the actual agreement but near the end the anti-Trump Dane politician said that it did give us permanent rights to our military occupation and removed it from depending if NATO existed or not, well that is HUGE, also through the mocking tone, if you read between the lines it seemed to concede that Russia, China and others are kept out, forever, in other words HUGE.
I think we are going to like this a lot when the details emerge.
They LAUGHED at Trump.....who’s laughing now??
No chicom biolabs on Greenland.

Just Chinese mining consortiums that have been there for decades.
Producing rare earths is one thing, refining them is another very messy job, with lots of pollution, which is why China leads, since they have no real regulations on refining.
Read later.
Just having “rare earths” is meaningless, as they are 15, *fifteen*, different elements. And while several of them will tend to cluster together in a given ore, (and being chemically similar, are very hard to separate), as different elements, they have different properties. To make things even more confusing, there are two not-”rare earth” elements included with them, scandium and yttrium, just because they are typically found with them.
So you have a “rare earth” mine? Which “rare earth” elements are in it?
