The defence deal signed at the UN General Assembly also re-affirms Denmark's sovereignty over its semi-autonomous Arctic territory.

I don't know, why you are so angry at Denmark but to be honest I don't really care. But this deal is good diplomatic work with a president who is highly unpredictable and illogical

Appeasing Trump and giving him something he can spin as a "win" (even if it isn't one in reality as you said) increases his power and makes him an even bigger problem for everyone in the long run.

    Only for those who don't realize that no real victory happened. For anyone who realizes that - and any competent statesperson will - then it only serves to make Trump look like even more of a fool, and confirms the way to treat that fool as a fool.
