Trump's Greenland Masterstroke: 99-Year Lease = De Facto Annexation for Pennies Trump just dropped the tariff bomb on Denmark and seven NATO allies… then pulls it back the same day. Why? Because he is probably looking into locking a 99-year lease framework on Greenland — de facto annexation dressed as polite cooperation. The move is pure chess brilliance: - Land & bases — 99 years of near-sovereign control over strategic zones and expanded military footprint. Denmark keeps the flag; America keeps the keys. - People — U.S. citizenship pathways + big cash handouts per resident. Sound familiar? It’s Puerto Rico 2.0: citizenship without the vote, loyalty bought at scale. - Treasure — Priority access to rare earths, critical metals and Arctic sea lanes worth trillions… secured with a multi-billion cheque that’s laughably small in comparison. Tariff threat → Danish cave-in → tariff cancellation → smiling markets → America owns the future of the Arctic without spending trillions or firing a shot. Critics scream neo-colonialism. Supporters just smile: this is how you play three-dimensional chess in 2026. One signature, one lease, one century of dominance. Puerto Rico was the prototype. Greenland is the upgrade. Checkmate. EU can just watch > HUMILIATED.
