Last week, President Trump met with NATO leaders in Turkey. The international alliance is now pledging more money, resources, and munitions to help fight Bad Vlad Putin in Ukraine.

 

Mr. Trump got what is most important. The press will never give him credit for that, but it’s the truth. Since his first term, the president has convinced the Europeans and Canada to increase military spending by $1.2 trillion. That’s a big deal, particularly for the American taxpayer who would have picked up the tab.

 

Back to Greenland.

 

Earlier this year, I put forth that a deal can be made with the Danes.  It was similar to Panama, when Mr. Trump saber-rattled that American troops might have to run the Canal.

 

Didn’t happen because Panama made a deal with the USA that benefited both countries. No takeover was necessary.

 

However, at this point, the Greenland endeavor is not worth it.

 

President Trump should celebrate his NATO victory and move on. Take the win.
