There will not be a financial deal. The Greenland Inuit may not be fond of Denmark, but they know that their culture will be safeguarded. Yes, Denmark had the same affliction other Europeans had, and Canadians and Australians had too. They have all accepted that responsibility. You know who never did? The USA. One look at its sordid treatment of native people shows that. US citizens and politicians do not even understand what the Navajo nation means. You know who has disrespected the Inuit culture just as much, if not more? The USA. The USA still calls the native people "eskimo" and does not respect their land sovereignty. If the Greenlanders wish to preserve their culture and sovereignty as they say they do, they will not sell out for all the money the USA offers. It is a pipe dream. They don't have too. One look at the financial settlements in Canada shows them that they can keep their land, their sovereignty and gain the benefit of their mineral wealth without giving up anything. It is why they have moved ahead with mineral development projects with Canada/European consortiums and not US companies.

Why would constitutional authority matter to this absolute creep? He despises both the Constitution and the rule of law.

And while we're on the topic of talking about this goon, in the history of the world has there ever been a 79-year-old who has behaved like more of a juvenile delinquent than this guy?

President Donald Trump said Sunday that he is “inclined” to keep ExxonMobil out of Venezuela after its top executive was skeptical about oil investment efforts in the country after the toppling of former President Nicolás Maduro.

“I didn’t like Exxon’s response,” Trump said to reporters on Air Force One as he departed West Palm Beach, Florida. “They’re playing too cute.”

During a meeting Friday with oil executives, Trump tried to assuage the concerns of the companies and said they would be dealing directly with the U.S., rather than the Venezuelan government. Some, however, weren’t convinced.

“If we look at the commercial constructs and frameworks in place today in Venezuela, today it’s uninvestable,” said Darren Woods, CEO of ExxonMobil, the largest U.S. oil company.

Na Na Na Na Na. I don't like you, you didn't go along with my narrative, you are a bad person.

Also, Obama deported over 3 million people and bombed or droned numerous people in other countries. Do you remember the wedding he vapourised and killed and maimed many people. Did you complain then? Bet you didn't.

President Obama did not vaporize any wedding. The US military targeted Yemeni terrorists. In its process it VIOLATED directives set out by the Obama administration in respect to verifications required. It was a US military error and was not because of an order from the President. The US military was later vindicated in part because Nasser al-Hotami, a terrorist leader, was reported to have escaped and fled the scene. The Yemen government said there were terrorists in the procession. The "victims" were pleased to settle up for compensation of 105 Kalishnikovs and a small sum sum of money. They left happy.

A bit of history about Greenland and Denmark

What has been largely absent from the media’s narratives about Greenland is the fact that, from 1966 to 1991, Danish authorities ran a systematic program to suppress Greenland’s birth rate by effectively sterilizing thousands of women and girls, some as young as 12, during routine health appointments, without their knowledge or consent.

In light of that history, Denmark has no moral standing to lecture anyone about Greenland, its people, or its future, and it certainly does not deserve compensation of any kind for relinquishing control. This was the conduct of a colonial power engaged in population control, extending well into the modern era.

Denmark should disappear from the discussion entirely and leave Greenland and its people free of any further interference or pretense.

As the world de-dollarises, Trump better start stocking up on Danish Kroner if he wants to buy Greenland.

I am not familiar with all the details of any of the usa and Denmark agreements or treaties. But I do point out one aspect about treaties with the usa. Treaties are made valid by the senate, not the president. Surprisingly, the usa president can withdraw the usa from a treaty without the senate. A recent example of that is when president Bush junior withdrew the usa from the anti ballistic missile (ABM) treaty.

Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen and Greenland’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Vivian Motzfeldt are to meet US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Washington on Wednesday. The background is the Trump administration’s increased pressure on Denmark to take over Greenland.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. It won't happen overnight could take a few years perhaps even a decade but as the world turns away from America due in the main because of Trump and his erratic actions it will also turn away from the Dollar. History will tell but I feel if it does it will be traced back to Trump and his actions in alienating once friendly countries and allies.

The most important things a reserve currency should have is security and stability and not be subject to the whims of any individual.

De-dollarization is unfolding in central bank FX reserves, where the share of USD has slid to a two-decade low.

In fixed income, the share of foreign ownership in the U.S. Treasury market has fallen over the last 15 years, pointing to reduced reliance on the dollar.

De-dollarization is most visible in commodity markets, where a large and growing proportion of energy is being priced in non-dollar-denominated contracts.

If major trades in oil starts being traded in currencies other than the petrodollar that will be the beginning of the end of the US dollar as the worlds reserve currency.

He most certainly is aware of his constitutional limitations. Yes, he pushes the envelope, but the SCOTUS won't give him an excuse on this, nor will the US Congress.

An Invasion of Greenland would result in the Republicans losing heavily in the midterms because there is no appetite in the USA to be at odds with the world. It is slowly sinking in that Americans are not popular. They join the Russians, Indians and Chinese in that club.

Your logic holds that the US military is useless because the British expeditionary force and Canadian militia defeated the USA in the war of 1812 and the White House was burnt down. Different circumstances, different era.
