Just had a quick read of the US-Greenland-Denmark agreement and it seems like a complete non-event. Trump threatened the territorial integrity of a NATO ally and got nothing.

This has nothing to do with the new U.S.-Denmark agreement the Trumpies are trying to over-sell. They could have done this under the previous arrangement. Sounds like appeasement of the orange toddler.

Trump declares victory in Greenland, but the deal exposes a deeper crisis of trust
When a loyal ally can be squeezed over land inside its own territory, collective defence starts to look like an open protection racket.

I just read the Greenland deal. My take is that it appears to favor the U.S. most: expanded military infrastructure, freedom of operations on land, sea and air, and stronger leverage over foreign investment in Greenland.
