Will this agreement hold up when the next Biden/Kamala takes office? The Monroe Doctrine was being whittled away over several decades by both GOP and democrat administrations. This is Trump acting with a blunt instrument.
I can’t know for sure. I don’t watch it.
He really is reshaping the world to our interests:
1. Greenland security - minerals to follow
2. Panama Canal - China out
3. Venezuela - Communist out, China out, US oil interests in
4. Cuba - In progress
5. Iran - nuclear weapons program decimated
6. South America - many countries now US-aligned, pro-freedom, communism on the ropes.
7. NATO Countries - coughing up their money for European defense
Shouldn’t this be Breaking News?
This is encouraging news, albeit devils, details, and all that are yet to come.
Don’t kid yourself...Canada is saying “Thank God!”.
Everyone, even here on FR, keeps bitching and muttering, but this presidential genius has accomplished more in two years than all post-WWII presidents or congresses combined...
It says non-NATO countries are excluded from establishing military bases in Greenland. My understanding was the original issue was that China was negotiating a mineral concession that would permit the building of a port facility. That was at least initially, purportedly a completely civilian operation. So does this new agreement explicitly deal with such a facility? It’s not clear that it does. I think he’s made it clears he won’t accept such a thing but it’s not clear they have “permanently” agreed to forgo it.
I seem to remember a-holes claiming Trump was going to invade and take over Greenland. Where are they now?
This was his plan all along.
They never opposed a single security request we made. Not one.
