The Wall Street Journal’s Post

President Trump’s assurances on Greenland did little to calm nerves on this island, where people have found themselves at the center of a geopolitical struggle.

When “normal life is on pause,” it’s because the territory has stopped being peripheral and become a core strategic asset. Trump isn’t trying to reassure Greenland; he’s repricing its geopolitical value within NATO, Europe, and the Arctic power struggle. Verbal guarantees don’t calm anyone because this isn’t a psychological game, it’s a structural one: functional sovereignty, defense architecture, shipping lanes, energy, and great-power competition. Normality only returns once the strategic cost is priced and someone agrees to pay it.

GREENLAND SHOULD DECIDE ITS FUTURE Denmark and Greenland have been cooperative, accommodating NATO SECURITY. United States has previously had Seventeen Military Sites, with access dating back to 1951, during The Cold War. President Donald Trump should appreciate that a Nation should be entitled to its own Self Determination, particularly considering the History of the Thirteen Colonies that became the United States. Freedom, Liberty and Democracy Matter. Greenlanders deserve the Right to Decide their Nation's Fate, democratically. They have lived on Greenland for over 500 Years. President Trump should be Grateful Greenland is permitting their homeland for NATO SECURITY Operations. The United States and NATO were invited to install Military Fortresses and Missile Defence Systems. The respectful manner is to request Diplomatically, as in previous installations. This Requirement was directly articulated to President Trump with a Formal Visit to the White House last week.Greenland is Not For Sale it was explained. Despite this Clarification, President Trump went on Social Media and global broadcast News stating "USA Must Own Greenland." Greenland is Very Concerned. Is A National Referendum Required? Any Thoughts LinkedIn?
