This is a two-part post.
The first explores President Trump’s January 17, 2026, Truth Social post about Greenland. It’s a mix of inaccurate statements and the levying of new tariffs.
Organizationally, a section of the Truth Social post is listed, followed by a quick analysis of that section. The Analyses are so-noted.
The second part is an unpacking of the Greenland situation and where the United States and Europe stand in this matter.
