Denmark Intercepts Tanker, Gets to 'Discuss' Greenland Sale
According to the anonymous Danish official cited by AP, Denmark provided 'support' to the U.S. in the east Atlantic to intercept an oil tanker. This act of 'cooperation' precedes a meeting between Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio with Danish and Greenlandic foreign ministers to discuss—you guessed it—President Trump’s lingering desire to acquire Greenland. One might
wonder if this 'support' was less about upholding sanctions and more about earning a polite audience for America's latest real estate venture. The US has a history of 'sanctions' becoming a pretext for blockades, particularly around Venezuela to destabilize it. Now, Denmark, a supposed ally, aids this strong-arm tactic and in return, gets dragged to the White House to 'discuss' giving up sovereign
land. It appears the price of 'alliance' with a superpower sometimes means negotiating the sale of your own territory, all under the guise of an 'agreement'.
