🔒 Q: What negotiation approach does Trump propose for Greenland acquisition? A: Trump demands immediate negotiations with binary outcome: either Greenland agrees to acquisition and US shows appreciation, or they refuse and US will "remember it", positioning it as strategic interest rather than optional discussion.

European Policy Critique

⚡ Q: What specific European policies does Trump blame for weakening defense capabilities? A: Trump identifies mass immigration and energy policies over past 40 years as primary factors weakening European countries, demanding policy changes for strong Europe that can defend itself successfully.

💰 Q: What does Trump demand from Europe in exchange for NATO defense support?

Legacy and Resource Motivations

🏆 Q: How does Trump view Greenland acquisition beyond security claims? A: Trump sees Greenland as feather in his cap comparable to Alaska purchase, pursuing it for prestige and mineral wealth as part of his legacy, though US could achieve these goals without territorial acquisition.

NATO and European Defense Critique

2. ⚔️ Trump challenges NATO Article 5 mutual defense assumption by questioning whether France and Britain would actually come to US defense, flipping the traditional security guarantee narrative

Negotiation Approach

1. 🤝 Trump seeks immediate negotiations to discuss Greenland acquisition while admitting he isn't planning to use force to take it, positioning it as strategic legacy item
2. 🌍 Trump positions US need for greater role in Greenland as response to changing geopolitical landscape where melting ice creates new vulnerabilities in the hemisphere
