🚨🚨Greenland’s government advised households on Wednesday to have enough supplies 5 five days in case of a crisis, as #Trump told European leaders that he would not use military force to take the semiautonomous Danish territory.

#Greenland said it published the #CrisisPreparedness brochure, which made no mention of Trump, in response to repeated power outages & in order to “strengthen the security of the population & to ensure that society’s overall preparedness is even stronger.

#geopolitics

Speaking to CNBC, #Trump said the #Greenland deal was everything the White House wanted & was a deal everyone was happy with.

"Its a little bit complex," Trump said about the deal, saying it will be explained "down the line."

"This is forever," Trump told CNBC.

#Denmark says #Trump still has an ambition they cannot accommodate

Denmark's Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen is commenting on Trump's announcement that a “framework” deal on #Greenland has been reached.

Here's a summary of what he's said so far:

It's positive that Trump says he will end this #TradeWar.

What is important is an end this in a way that respects the Greenlandic people.

It is a signal that Denmark can now have talks with Trump's people

No immediate comment from #NATO

Reuters has asked NATO for more details on Trump's announcement.

#Sweden’s Foreign Minister Eva Stenergard said the work of #allies on #Greenland "has had an effect." [whatever that means]

#EU leaders will proceed with an emergency summit on Thursday even after #Trump rowed back on his threats of #tariffs against some countries over #Greenland, a council spox said.

The details of any framework aside, Trump’s decision to back down from steep new #tariffs on European countries came days after financial #markets recoiled over the prospect of a #trade war. Some analysts felt that a protracted battle threatened to harm the #US #economy, not just the countries that #Trump had been trying to pressure over #Greenland.

Nevertheless, it was not the first time that #TACO has retreated from his tariff plans, particularly in the wake of a strong market reaction.

#Trump said that VP #JDVance, Secy of State #MarcoRubio, the special envoy #SteveWitkoff & other officials would continue to lead negotiations on #Greenland. But it seemed that #MarkRutte, the secretary general of #NATO, was able to successfully de-escalate tension with Trump after days of threats & insults against European leaders who resisted his territorial expansion.

In an interview with FRANCE 24, Iranian women's rights activist and journalist Masih Alinejad said Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei "is scared of" US President Donald Trump and called for the Iranian leader's targeted killing. "Kill Ali Khamenei the way that you kill[ed] Qassem Soleimani," she said, referring to the US assassination of the top Iranian commander in 2020 during Trump's first term in office.

Am I the only US citizen that is frustrated with Trump's bullying of our allies & partners? I am & always have been a "Never Trumper". I have always felt he was the wrong person for the job of US President--ethically, morally, etc. I am completely gobsmacked that he has the support he has. I feel so helpless, as I watch him bully our own allies over Greenland...& the world has 3 more years until he completes his 2nd term.

There is a #Trump proclamation (few months old) that imposes an additional fine ($100k) for applying to a new H1-B visa (the type that is used a lot by researchers).

Does anyone know for sure (with a source please) if this applies to those who are already in the US (for any reason, e.g. you were on a different visa or you are in the grace period of a visa)?

The original proclamation is here and doesn't mention exceptions for already being in the country, just that it doesn't apply to H-1B renewals...

One horrible and unbelievable outcome of an #American invasion of #Greenland will be the fact that no US veterans will be able to come to France to remember the brave women and men who defeated the #fascists and #nazis. Think about how incomprehensible that will be and while your at it, just remember the behaviour of your commander in chief last time he was there. 👇

"Polling shows a majority of Americans think Mr Trump’s presidency a failure. A president who lacks consent at home cannot credibly demand submission abroad. What he projects instead is desperation. Mr Trump believes influence comes through ultimatums and coercion. But power, in the real world, rests on trust, predictability and persuading others to follow."

"For all Donald Trump’s bluster about restoring American strength, his attempt to bully European allies over Greenland reveals a deeper weakness: coercive diplomacy only works if people are afraid to resist. Increasingly, they aren’t. And that is a good thing. Bullies often back down when confronted – their power relies on fear."

The Guardian view on Trump and Greenland: get real! Bullying is not strength

Editorial: Tariff threats over the Arctic island expose the limits of coercive diplomacy. Europe’s united response and pushback shows fear is fading

^{Editorial (The Guardian)}

"The conclusion among allies is chillingly direct: information shared with Trump cannot be trusted to stay out of Vladimir Putin’s hands.

This rupture is unfolding as Trump continues to openly threaten the invasion of Greenland."

"French intelligence, working with Ukraine, deliberately fed false high-level intelligence to Trump’s regime to test whether it would leak. That information quickly surfaced in Russian channels, confirming their worst fears. As a result, France and other European services have effectively cut the United States out of critical intelligence flows related to Ukraine and broader security matters."

"The monumental idiocy of Trump’s threat to impose a 10% tariff on eight European nations that do not support his bid to conquer Greenland cannot go unremarked.

Foreign nations do not pay tariffs on goods imported into the US. Tariffs are paid by US companies that import goods into the US. Those companies pass their costs onto US consumers."

"Donald Trump is not blowing up NATO by accident. He is not threatening tariffs on European allies because he is impulsive. And he is not floating bizarre new global bodies where nations pay billions for access because he suddenly cares about peace.

This is a strategy. A crude one, but coherent. And it is designed to replace alliances with tribute."

Well yeah, that's how you deal with trolls. Don't feed them.

Gingrich is right, the #Greenland push IS just a bunch of noise, and the best way to sideline #Trump is to point out what a stupid and empty effort it is. He's trying to make waves, get a reaction with the noise, and if you react, THAT is what will have impact.

Unfortunately so far we have pushed the ball by reacting to his noise. It plays into his pattern.

Trump's an idiot who spouts noise. How we react to that noise is up to us. The more we call that out the last impact he will have on the world.

Interview: Journalist tests ICE recruitment process

"They didn’t ask very many questions.”

Laura Jedeed was hired as an ICE deportation officer after a six-minute interview at a job fair in Texas.

There was no paperwork, no background check, a likely failed drug test, & she publicly shared her opposition to the Trump administration.

#Trump for months has insisted that the US should control #Greenland, a semiautonomous territory of #NATO ally #Denmark, and said earlier this week that anything less than the Arctic island being in U.S. hands would be “unacceptable.”

“I may put a tariff on countries if they don’t go along with Greenland,” he said Friday, without providing details. “We need Greenland for national security.”
