Greenland’s premier greeted a $12 million U.S. aid package as “good news,” but members of the opposition are wary of Washington boosting its military presence on the island

WASHINGTON—The U.S. is providing Greenland with a package of development aid as part of a strategy to counter Russian and Chinese influence in the Arctic, focusing on energy, education and tourism, officials said Thursday.

A senior State Department official said the $12.1 million aid package to the autonomous Danish territory was part of a U.S. response to the challenging geopolitics in the Arctic. Denmark approved the opening of a U.S. consulate in the Greenland capital of Nuuk in December.

UnitedStates forces have only one noteworthy highest ice class ship-it belongs to the coast guard.: 44 years old icebreaker. UnitedStates are an arctic state but Not a noteworthy arctic power & finally that matters: 'Normative power of facts' to those who understand.

China should focus on cleaning up mess it created and pay for it. BoycottChina

Rocky and barren doesn't make you arctic. Do they even come close to Artic Circle?

And simply it's 'la cosa es nuestra' strategy countering 'siamo tutti fratelli e sorelle di deus' Doesn't concerns everyone neither known by all!

Wait.....what? I thought Trump purchased Greenland already?

The whole world, no, the entire universe belongs to China.

Everything is right. Where is China, and where is the Arctic ....

The frozen left hand of the master plays the bass relief. The firm pulse of the right hand the allegro furioso. The stark contrast, compositional perfection.

there's a 'middle-east' and a 'far-east.'

Who cares U.S opinion?

Trunpanzees can’t be trusted. Say no.

Opposition ? fules.. USA has saved the World at least three times.. WW1,WW2,Cold War..and there's still more mischief to come... kick your 'WOKE' Lefty's into touch..

People seem to have loud voices for things that do not affect them nor do they consider the passions for which those things exist rendering their judgement biased, uneducated, and invalid.

Wary they should be happy! Wary sounds like fake news!

Why are we giving aid? For that money it should be sold to us, as Brilliant POTUS wants.

And what is wrong with the US having a presence in Greenland? We are allies right? We support each other right?

Nahhhh! Usa never does nothing military z it’s time to close the world to the US military . Enough . You are not policing the world anyone.
