Greenland showdown: how Trump tested Europe | News in Depth

Stuart Dowell describes Trump’s Greenland push as “kind of like the theatre spectacle. It’s the performance that everyone had a ringside seat for.” Rather than a true land grab, it looked more like a classic Art of the Deal move—come in hot, scare everyone, then back off and call it a win.

Trump wasn’t just freelancing; he was front-running a deeper America First ideology that urges the U.S. to stop playing global cop and focus on hard, one-on-one deals. Europe pushed back harder than expected, and between that pressure and resistance inside Washington, Trump likely blinked more than he planned.

The so-called “deal” on Greenland mostly gives the U.S. what it already had, making the victory feel a little thin. When it came time to sign on to Trump’s flashy “Board of Peace,” many countries simply looked at the Greenland drama and thought, “OK.”
