       Disappointing move by Germany. Clearly big business lobbies are putting pressure on the German government and the EU to avoid the tariffs that Trump threatens to impose.https://www.dw.com/en/greenland-row-german-military-ends-short-deployment/live-75550031

       @aral Unfortunately probably the latter. But I hoped for something more positive. However, government reactions to the Trump mafia tend to be utterly disappointing. Also the US political class is letting this situation escalate. I still have some hope, but the situation is very bleak.
