One of the reasons that President-elect Donald Trump has raised the question of Greenland is because it has strategic importance to the United States, important mineral sources, and he’s trying to ward off Russian and Chinese efforts there. There’s a reason that folks like Harry Truman and William Seward looked into the idea of acquiring it in the past.
Trump is thinking strategically and proactively even before he gets back into the White House. That’s the same reason he’s talking about Panama — to head off problems from the Chinese influence there, given the critical importance of the area and the Panama Canal that’s so vital for our commerce. Thinking that way has, unfortunately, been something we’ve been lacking for the last four years.
In my opinion, it isn’t really about acquiring territory so much as it is about securing the United States.
Now, the Trump magic appears to be working and bearing fruit.
Denmark sent private messages in recent days to President-elect Trump’s team expressing willingness to discuss boosting security in Greenland or increasing the U.S. military presence on the island, two sources with knowledge of the issue tell Axios.
Not only that, Greenland’s leader Múte Egede said that he was prepared to enter into negotiations with Trump about the territory. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
