Trump makes good on his offer to buy Greenland

Donald Trump is making good on his offer some months ago to buy Greenland. Most people may have thought he was either joking or just pursuing his usual stream-of-conscious engage-mouth-before-brain drivel. The Danish government certainly gave it short shrift at the time.
But no, he has just announced, out of the blue, a $12.1 "aid package" for the mineral-rich strategically-located Danish territory. And I don't think he did it out of the goodness of his heart (heart?). The Danish government are saying "thank you very" much at this point, but I don't think the bribe - sorry, aid package - is likely to sway them them very far when geopolitical discussions happen to crop up sometime in the near future.
