Most of Greenland’s rare Earth minerals have been found south of the Arctic Circle, and the United States should share in this natural wealth. There simply is no question that the United States, as the world’s superpower and primary defender of Western Civilization, must own and fully control Arctic Greenland townhall https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4363585/posts#comment Fri, 23 Jan 2026 15:28:08 GMT https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4363546/posts A funny thing happened this week that you wouldn’t think possible from reading the common narrative of President Trump as a Frankenstein’s monster unchained to do whatever he wants: He backed down from his demands to own Greenland. And he did so after financial markets, European allies and the U.S. Congress raised objections. The “authoritarian” Trump narrative was wrong again. This isn’t to dismiss Mr. Trump’s often wild demands and threats. They have consequences in lost trust among allies and doubts about American reliability. These costs are hard to quantify, but they are real and may show up in a...

A “framework” for a future deal negotiated in meetings at the Davos summit in Switzerland this week will see the United States get a sovereign base area modelled on Britain’s military bases on the Island of Cyprus, it is stated. While those bases are not on the British mainland, the UK owns approximately three per cent of the island in two exclaves, which are legally and internationally recognised as...

NY Post https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4363413/posts#comment Thu, 22 Jan 2026 15:01:10 GMT https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4363334/posts Donald Trump is considering offering every Greenlander $1million – £750,000 – if they vote to join the United States. The US President yesterday ruled out using force to seize the Arctic island and is instead focused on enticing the people to secede from Denmark. If he made the vast payment to all 57,000 inhabitants of the strategically vital territory, the cost could hit £42.5billion. While the plan sounds outlandish, the price tag is a fraction of the £595billion the US spends on defence each year. It would also remove Greenland's reliance on Denmark for grants and reshape the island's economy....

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...

Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Trump lamented that the United States “probably won't get anything unless I decide to use excessive strength and force, where we would be, frankly, unstoppable.” “But I won't do that,” he added. “That's probably the biggest statement I made, because people thought I would use force. I don't have to use force. I don't want to use force. I won't use force.” Time https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4363256/posts#comment Wed, 21 Jan 2026 14:55:51 GMT https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/4363246/posts European opposition ⁠to President Donald Trump's bid to acquire Greenland and his proposed "Board of Peace" initiative has disrupted plans for an economic support package for postwar Ukraine, the Financial Times reported ‍on Wednesday.

Europe may not have a home-field advantage in Davos. The United States is seeking to dominate this year’s World Economic Forum by sending its largest and most senior delegation in history. Meetings with senior Trump officials are among the most sought-after engagements in town as European leaders, already reeling...

The present situation is unworkable since we are forced to spend money and risk our personnel with little benefit to us during the immediate period. Ownership is not the only solution to this conundrum. There are several possible methods to fulfill the requirements that Trump seeks. One proposal would be modeled after the arrangement Great Britain had with China for Hong Kong, in which the former had a 99-year lease for the territory. There are many variations on this theme. Mineral resources secured could...

"I'm worried about any loss of focus during a full-scale war," Zelensky told reporters. He added, however, that the dispute surrounding the autonomous Danish island and Ukraine should not be seen as "interchangeable".
