Former U.S. ambassador to Denmark says Trump's Greenland push "weakens national security"

I'm totally with Rufus Gifford on this one ... I mean, think about it, if we're going to try and take control of Greenland, at least have some basic diplomatic channels open, right? It's not like we can just swoop in there and expect everyone to be okay with it . Trump's "America First" approach is super short-sighted – what about the long-term implications on our relationships with other countries? We need to prioritize cooperation over some aggressive posturing... else we're gonna end up messing up a potentially sweet deal .

I'm kinda worried that Trump's approach might just backfire . I mean, we're already dealing with some complex stuff in the world right now, and taking control of Greenland could make things even more complicated. We need to think about how this would affect our relations with Denmark, the EU, and Russia – it's not like any of these countries are going to just roll over if we try to muscle in on their territory . And let's be real, we've been down that road before with some pretty disastrous results . Can't we just take a step back and try to find a way to work with Denmark instead of pitting ourselves against them?
