President Donald Trump said he worked out a "complex" long-term deal for the U.S. to acquire Greenland with the NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on Wednesday.

NATO released a statement on Wednesday shortly after President Donald Trump announced he and NATO Secretary Secretary General Mark Rutte had “formed’ a “framework” of a deal on Greenland. The NATO statement came amid new reporting from the New York Times that deal may include the U.S. being given “sovereignty over small pockets” of land in Greenland.

    I hope that isn’t actually the case because it would be egregious even for Rutte, a world champion in slobbering his orange Daddy’s knob.

      It’s not. Trump is massively overstating the deal. They’re basically just giving him stuff he already has. And they’re doing it in a way that forces the US to do more work on Arctic defence. It’s kind of genius actually.
