Anyone bother to ask what #Greenland folk actually want, let alone the #Chagossians, or is it all just a zero sum game and these people are pawns in an #imperialistic scramble for #resources? www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-g... #donaldtrump #denmark #denmarkpolitics
Trump U-turns on U.K.'s Chagos Islands deal, claims it's another reason "Greenland has to be acquired" by U.S.
Trump says the U.K. decision to hand a strategic island to Mauritius, which he previously supported, was stupid, and justification for his attempt to acquire Greenland.
