Trump negotiated Greenland with someone who doesn’t own Greenland.

Belgium was listed as a Board of Peace signatory at Davos.
Belgium immediately denied signing.
This is Davos 2026 in one sentence.
Trump announced a Greenland “framework deal” with NATO Secretary General Rutte.
Danish PM Frederiksen’s response: “Rutte has no mandate to negotiate on Denmark’s behalf.”
Trump negotiated Greenland with someone who doesn’t own Greenland.
Greenland’s own Prime Minister when asked what’s in the deal about his country:
“I don’t know what there is in the agreement, or the deal about my country.”
Then came the Board of Peace.
An 11-page charter for Gaza reconstruction.
The word “Gaza” appears zero times.
Trump’s exact words at the signing:
“Once this board is completely formed, we can do pretty much whatever we want to do.”
Sole veto power. For life.
Authority over any global conflict zone. Worldwide.
$1 billion membership fee. Per country.
Power to nominate his own successor.
Russia offered to pay using frozen Western assets.
Trump: “I’m fine with that.”
25 nations reportedly signed.
France refused.
Belgium denies signing.
The pattern:
Negotiate with parties who don’t own the asset.
Sign charters that omit their stated purpose.
List signatories who deny signing.
Declare victory before anyone reads the document.
And the markets moved anyway.
Critical Metals stock pumped 158% in three weeks on Greenland headlines.
The 1951 Defense Agreement already gives America base rights in Greenland. In perpetuity.
Trump negotiated access to something America has had since Truman.
But the stock moved.
The headlines printed.
The institution now exists.
Everyone debating whether Trump “failed” at Greenland is measuring the wrong variable.
The 20th century required signatures.
The 21st century requires announcements.
Treaties needed consent.
Press releases only need attention.
Mark Carney stood at the same podium and delivered the verdict:
“This is not a transition. This is a rupture.”
He wasn’t describing a failure.
He was describing an upgrade.
The old operating system required agreement to execute a deal.
The new one just requires the headline.
Davos 2026 wasn’t a negotiation.
It was a product launch.
The announcement is the product.
The deal was never the point.
