In this video, I break down Trump’s Greenland strategy as a negotiation tactic rather than a genuine plan to buy, invade, or seize territory. We look at how hyperbole, timing, and pressure were used to shape outcomes — from tariffs to defense spending — and why figures like Mark Rutte mattered in translating Trump’s approach to European allies. This is about understanding method, not taking headlines at face value — and why context matters when assessing geopolitical signaling, especially for Europe, NATO, and the Arctic.
