#Europe draws red line on #Greenland after a year of futilely trying to pacify #Trump While many European leaders’ reactions to the #Venezuela raid were muted, there have been forceful rebukes about the Trump admin’s greediness on Greenland.

But the mere prospect of such conflict only highlights how much more difficult it is now for #US #allies to toe the line with #Trump. That, too, could lead to a drastic deterioration of the transatlantic #alliance if not its end, analysts say.
“Many European countries are still seeking to ride both a European and an American horse,” Rahman said. “That may become impossible.”

Another option would be to make a deal on #Greenland — a sale or lease, with expanded access to #mineral rights, & #US role in #security. In the event of a crisis, “the rest of #Europe will lean on #Denmark to make some kind of arrangement with the #US,” Rahman said.

A #LouisianaPurchase style transaction may be the least likely. Danish #law recognizes Greenlanders as a people with the right to decide their own future, meaning Copenhagen cannot barter the island away even if it wanted to. Any change in #sovereignty would first require #Greenland to choose #independence — a separate #legal, electoral process — before it could negotiate anything with Washington.

@Nonilex and even if Greenland and Denmark were on the same page and decided together to sell to Trump - what about EU and neighbours? They would be affected, too when suddenly Greenland has lots of air traffic since some crazy guy wants to build a golf court on the melting glacier. Let alone all those strategic military and mining stuff they were talking about. It might poison the whole ocean. And we should get a say, too in this case.
