THE DONROE DOCTRINE IS MONROE WITH TEETH: Greenland Parliament Ratifies Security Deal Agreed With Trump.

A majority of lawmakers had already signalled support for the deal in a first debate last month.

Tuesday’s vote was 16 in favour and none against, with 7 abstentions.

The White House in January said Trump was discussing options for acquiring Greenland, including potential use of the US military, alarming governments in Europe and triggering intense diplomatic efforts to calm the situation.

Greenlandic Foreign Minister Mute Egede said on Tuesday that ratification of the deal was an important step for the island.

“We must accept that peace and stability are no longer something we can take for granted,” Egede told lawmakers in Nuuk shortly before the vote.

Indeed.
