It is front page news in dk - leaders from major Danish companies have been called in by the government … novo is the biggest exporter to the us and the most obvious squeeze.

Technically this is done by the Biden admin but obviously coordinated with the incoming Trump admin who has made their attention of using trade to squeeze Denmark in order to get full control of Greenland very clear.

Novo is just worth $300B, it's nothing compared to the many trillions of dollars Greenland is worth.

But I guess politicians are much cheaper than that.

    Worth to whom? Greenland has about 44,000 inhabitants over age 17. I would imagine a majority would be willing to sell their citizenship to the US for quite a bit less than a million dollars each....

      Now that would be a real tragedy, bunch of common folks largely clueless about finances suddenly becoming millionaires. If anything lottery winners have thought us is mostly just a destructive event.

    All of these trillions are imaginary numbers buried in ice

I find it fascinating that Denmark believes Trump isn’t simply lying like he always does?

Why would the Biden administration coordinate with Trump in an attempt to control Greenland? That makes no sense.
