Trump and Greenland: The Deal That Changed the Arctic

For decades, the United States has viewed Greenland as a strategically vital territory. Since World War II, American military planners and policymakers have understood its importance for Arctic security, global defense systems, and access to critical resources. What previous administrations discussed quietly behind closed doors, Donald Trump chose to say openly.

Trump said he wanted Greenland.

The reaction from legacy media was immediate and furious. Denmark was outraged. European leaders, including Emmanuel Macron, criticized the idea. Headlines mocked Trump, calling the proposal absurd, imperialistic, even dangerous. Once again, the familiar narrative returned: Trump the dictator, Trump the destabilizer, Trump the man destroying NATO and threatening the world order.

But while the media screamed, Trump stayed calm. Smiling. Stoic.

Behind the scenes, something very different was happening.

This week, President Donald Trump arrived in Davos, Switzerland, to attend the World Economic Forum (WEF). Surrounded by the world’s global elites—the very same figures who openly despise him—Trump showed up with a large delegation and a clear agenda: make deals.

And one of the biggest deals was Greenland.

After a high-level meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Trump announced that a framework agreement concerning Greenland—and the wider Arctic region—had been reached. An outcome many in the legacy media had declared impossible.

In a statement released earlier today, Trump wrote:

“Based upon a very productive meeting that I have had with the Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte, we have formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic Region.

This solution, if consummated, will be a great one for the United States of America, and all NATO Nations. Based upon this understanding, I will not be imposing the tariffs that were scheduled to go into effect on February 1st.

Additional discussions are being held concerning the Golden Dome as it pertains to Greenland. Further information will be made available as discussions progress. Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and others will lead the negotiations and report directly to me.”

In simple terms: Trump made a deal.

Greenland matters because it is one of the most strategic territories on Earth. As Arctic ice melts, new shipping routes open and access to vast mineral reserves becomes possible. China and Russia have both aggressively positioned themselves in the Arctic, seeking influence, infrastructure, and control over rare-earth minerals critical to modern technology, defense systems, and energy.

China already holds a near-monopoly on many of these minerals.

Greenland changes that.

According to Trump, the framework agreement includes mineral rights, defense cooperation, and integration into a broader NATO security architecture—including the proposed “Golden Dome” defense system. With American capital, technology, and expertise, Greenland’s resources can be developed responsibly, reducing Western dependence on China and strengthening collective security across Europe and North America.

This is not just a win for the United States. It is a win for the West.

For years, Europe has depended on American security while criticizing American leadership. Trump reversed that dynamic. He forced allies to negotiate seriously, share responsibility, and think strategically about the future of the Arctic.

The backlash from globalists is predictable. Trump does not speak their language. He does not respect their rituals. He does not submit to unelected institutions or consensus-driven politics. Instead, he negotiates power, territory, resources, and security—openly.

What we are witnessing is not chaos. It is a transition.

The old world order is fading. Globalism as an ideology is losing credibility. In its place, a new era is emerging—what some describe as civilizationism: a worldview that recognizes distinct civilizations, national sovereignty, cultural identity, and strategic self-interest.

Trump’s Greenland deal is not just about land or minerals. It is about redefining power in a multipolar world.

And despite what the legacy media claims, Trump didn’t lose control.

He won Greenland.

The Fed kept the interest rate unchanged at 1,75 – 2% while Switzerland have negative interest rate at -0,75

Federal Reserve Board Chairman Jerome Powell announced on Wednesday that it kept the benchmark interest rate unchanged. The statement comes after a two-day meeting of the FOMC, which decides on monetary policy.

Powell said the job market would remain strong and inflation would stay around the 2 percent target for “several years.” This is great for the U.S because it gives the Fed some tools to use if the trouble are coming back. But what about the rest of the world? Are they healthy?

The picture is different in Switzerland. The Swiss National Bank kept its benchmark three-month Libor at -0,75 percent on June 21st, 2018. Interest rate in Switzerland reached an all time low of -0,75 percent in January of 2015, and it`s still at the same low-level. But they are not alone.

Denmark followed Switzerland in 2015 and dropped the interest rate to -0,75 only a month after them. The Danish central bank follows the path set by the ECB and the key rate will be raised or lowered when the ECB changes the refinance rate.

The Danish central bank`s main policy aim to hold the euro`s exchange rate within 2,25 percent either above or below 7,46038 kroner in an effort to keep inflation low and provide stability for exporter. Now the Danish rate is -0,65.

Sweden joined the negative interest club, and the central bank of Sweden held its benchmark interest rate at -0,5 percent on July 3rd, as widely expected, saying monetary policy needs to continue to be expansionary for inflation to remain close to target despite strong economic activity.

Japan is the last country in the world to have negative interest rate. They reached an all time low of -0,1 percent in July this year. The BOJ vowed to keep rate extremely low for extended period of time and opted for flexible bond buying at its July 2018 meeting.

In addition, Japan`s policymakers left its key short-term interest rate unchanged at -0,1 percent and kept its 10-year government bond yield target around 0 percent.

In other words; you are lending your money to governments and you are paying them interest for that, which mean it`s cheaper to put your money under your mattress. But that strategy can be very risky.

The goal is to make people spend money rather than pay a fee to keep it safe. This is intended to incentivize banks to lend money more freely and businesses and individuals to invest. This is how you make growth.

During deflationary periods, people and businesses hoard money instead of spending and investing. The result is a collapse in aggregate demand, which leads to prices falling even further. This again will lead to a slowdown in production and output which means higher unemployment.

Negative interest rates can be considered a last-ditch effort to boost economic growth, which means when all else has proved ineffective and may have failed. 21 countries like Spain, Italy, Greece, France, Finland and Malta to name a few, are holding its interest rate at 0,00. The Euro zone is joining the club.

In 2014, the ECB instituted a negative interest rate that only applied to bank deposits intended to prevent the Euro zone from falling into a deflationary spiral.

The ECB held its benchmark refinancing rate at 0 percent on July 26th and reiterated that the monthly pace of the net asset purchase will be reduced to €15 billion from September to December 2018, and will then end.

The ECB expect the interest rate to remain at their present levels at least through the summer of 2019, and in any case for as long as necessary to ensure the continued sustained convergence of inflation to levels that are below, but close to 2 percent over the medium term.

The risk surrounding the euro area growth outlook can still be assessed as broadly balanced. Uncertainties related to global factors, notably the threat of protectionism, remain prominent.
