Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers came out with a song, back in 1989, called ‘ I won’t back down’. One of the verses was as follows.
Well, I won’t back down
No, I won’t back down
You could stand me up at the gates of Hell
But I won’t back down
Donald Trump came to Davos, this week, threatening to take over Greenland, the easy way or the hard way. He was threatening to impose tariffs on NATO countries. In his speech, he threatened other countries, including our own country, Canada.
Well, the NATO countries did what Trump did to a factory worker, last week, in Michigan. They gave Trump the finger. Trump will be leaving Davos, with nothing. Furthermore, he has dropped the tariff threat.
Trump had a meeting with the NATO secretary and, after the meeting, the US announced that a framework had been reached where there was a potential for the US to have sovereignty over the base it has there and sovereignty over the mineral rights in that area. The NATO secretary’s office indicated that no such agreement on sovereignty had been reached. Furthermore, the Danish Prime Minister gave a hard no to any talk of sovereignty. The Danish Prime Minister further went on to say that only Denmark and Greenland can determine the sovereignty of Greenland.
No matter what Trump is saying to save face, he is walking away with nothing. Basically he was told to stuff it.
That’ all I have for today.
