Greenland Officials Express Fury Over Trump’s Plan to Send Delegation

  • Ms. Vance is scheduled to make a series of cultural stops after her arrival on Thursday, separate from Mr. Waltz. The national security adviser is supposed to be traveling earlier in the week with the U.S. energy secretary, Chris Wright.

    First, don't meet with them. Don't give them a diplomatic escort, but maybe follow them around with a few troops in case you want to stop them going to certain places. Or don't let them in at all.

    I assume they plan to land at the US military base--I don't know if that means they don't have to ask permission to enter Greenland's airspace and land? But depending on how much Denmark wants to scale up the tensions, they could either refuse them permission to land or let them land but refuse to let them exit the US base into Greenland's territory.

    Either way, start procedures to close the base and kick them out. They've given more than enough justification by threatening Greenland. Whether you really want to close the base or not, threaten to and then you can negotiate for some kind of payment to let the base stay. That's what trump would do and what he would respond to. You have to stand up to a bully or they'll never stop bullying you.
