Denmark and USA Have Working Group on Some Kind of Greenland Deal

This at least get the whole problem off stage while we all wait for nature to takes its course.  It Appears that Trump has had a stroke around twelve months ago and has been obviously weakened.  the next one will likely take him.

It is noted that the joint Chiefs are questioning if orders regarding greenland are legal as they should.

we have always talked the talk about checks and balances and then proceeded to skate along with a clearly failing Biden and now it is a Dying trump.  what a mess for the USA to ultimately sort out.  They will need a constitutional amendment to remove tariff powers from the president in order to rejoin the global trade system vthat is rising.

One learns to appreciate the Canadian parlimentary system that in crisis can grab up a best choice and run with it while uncerismonily dumping trudeau who was not up for it all.  the same thing happened in 1939 with Churshill.

understand that it is the USA that is facing an existential crisis in govertnance that is simultaneously allowing Canada to completely to completely reset the whole global order. while the USa is completely distracted.  This literally eliminates decades of slow mo readjustment.  Who thought?

And just like that.  THE KING IS DEAD _ LONG LIVE THE KING

Denmark and USA Have Working Group on Some Kind of Greenland Deal

US secretary of state Marco Rubio is expected to prepare a proposal to buy Greenland for $700 billion, NBC reports. January 14, 2026 Meeting, Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen and Greenland’s Foreign Minister Vivian Motzfeldt at the White House. No deal was reached, with Denmark and Greenland reiterating that Greenland is not for sale. However, they agreed to establish a high-level working group for technical talks to address US security concerns (e.g., military presence) while respecting Denmark’s “red lines.” The group is expected to meet first in weeks, with ongoing discussions every 2-3 weeks.

$700 Billion Offer Estimate is not an official bid but a planning figure calculated by scholars and former US officials, potentially ranging $600-900B (more than half the Pentagon’s annual budget). It factors in land value ($200-220B), resources, infrastructure, and compensation.

The figure could plausibly move closer to $900 billion for Denmark. Norway’s sovereign wealth fund, widely regarded as the global benchmark, stands at around $1.8 trillion. A $900 billion transaction would place Denmark’s wealth overnight at roughly half the scale of Norway, one of the richest countries on earth. Over the past 10 years, the Norwegian wealth fund delivered an average annual return of 7.25 percent. Applied to $900 billion, that equates to $65 billion per year in returns, or about €56 billion. Denmark’s total annual state budget is roughly $140 billion, or €124 billion. Investment income alone would therefore cover close to half of Denmark’s entire annual budget every single year, in perpetuity, without touching the principal.

That kind of recurring income changes everything. Taxes could be cut dramatically, turbocharging growth and turning Denmark into one of the most competitive economies in Europe.
