Donald Trump supposedly changed his mind about Greenland at the last momentm blah-blah. Except that he really didn´t. This doesn´t change anything. The new deal doesn´t seem to contain *anything* Trump couldn´t have gotten by simply negotiating with Denmark in normal fashion through the usual NATO structures. Or bilaterally, for that matter.
Instead, he threatened Denmark with a military attack and other NATO allies with steep tariffs. The "isolationist" (really imperial-nationalist) dynamic is still at play. It´s also obvious that the guy can´t be trusted to negotiate in good faith.
Therefore, the European-ist dynamic must continue. Unless the Trump administration simply collapses in such a spectacular fashion that the transatlantic link can be reset on a very firm basis. I´m not holding my breath, though.
