Every year Greenland receives around $700mn subsidy from Denmark, but the Tangerine Tyrant seems to have managed to drive a wedge between Denmark & Greenland with representatives from Greenland preparing to meet US secretary of state Marco Rubio next week.
So the Q. might be whether Greenlanders would shift to US 'protection' for a commitment for a similar (or perhaps larger) annual payment?
And could Denmark make a counter offer, or just try obstruct such a move
