What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Good morning, everybody. Welcome to the Tom Bilyeu Show Live. There is a lot to cover today. Let's talk about Greenland, because that's what we're here for. Let's jump right into it, because apparently when you don't get prizes, you get to do whatever you want.
What does Trump's letter about Greenland reveal about his foreign policy?
So let's hear from Trump himself. What happened?
Why does he always have to bring this stuff up? All right. Reports emerged today about a letter sent by Trump to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Geir Stor. The letter was confirmed by Stor himself and shared with other nations by the US administration. It was written in response to a joint message from Stor and Finnish President Alexander Stubb, who opposed Trump's imposition of tariffs on European allies for clapping back on Trump's attempt to seize Greenland. The full text of Trump's letter, as reported across multiple outlets, goes like this. But, can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a right of ownership anyway?
There's no written documents. It's only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now NATO should do something for the United States. The world is not secure unless we have complete and total control of Greenland." End quote. Prime Minister Storr of Norway described the letter as unusual, but called for de-escalation and a desire to talk directly to Trump to discuss the tensions. He reiterated that the Nobel Committee operates independently of the Norwegian government, and therefore they should not be catching the flak for the oversight. Russia has commented that Trump would, quote, go down in history if the U.S.
acquires Greenland. But I imagine them saying that while laughing to themselves, because I think they are literally trying to egg Trump on to do something that ultimately would be the most ironic thing in the world. When you've got the leader of NATO saying that they are going to seize by force, if country sort of by proxy of the fact that Denmark has control over Greenland, you're the one that actively needs to be protected against. It's so wild to say we're going to come in and seize this because Russia or China might. You become the immediate threat. Many critics are noting that the letter shows evidence of Trump being driven by his personal grievances instead of intelligent policy. Supporters of the move, however, frame it as strategic realpolitik, which for anybody keeping score, realpolitik is basically the world is operated by force and power alone.
And if you can take something, then you can take it. And if you get beat back by the military, then that's just how the game plays. All right. I'm going to admit that that's probably true. This letter is the most Trump thing ever. But this kind of what I'm now going to shorthand as GTP diplomacy has consequences. Got it. You with me? Got it. You with me? Okay. Longtime listeners of the show are going to know exactly what I mean by GTP. So here we are, boys and girls. It's too early in the show for me to say it out loud. We can talk about GTP later.
And the story keeps going, if you could throw this up, Eric, that Russia eggs Trump on and saying, hey, if you take Greenland, it will be historic. So Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, international experts believe that by resolving Greenland's incorporation, Trump will certainly go down in history, not only in U.S. history, but world history. This is Mario Norfal's comments after that. Notice what Russia's doing. Not saying it's good or bad. Not commenting on legality. Just stating a fact that Trump will be remembered forever if he stays in NATO territory. That's encouragement with plausible deniability. When asked about Trump's claims that Russia threatens Greenland, Peskov dodged too much disturbing information lately.
Won't comment on alleged Russian designs. Saying we're not threatening Greenland, but we're happy to watch Trump destroy NATO trying to protect it from us.
