In a high-security storage facility at the Danish National Archives (Rigsarkivet) is a 100 year old sheet of paper with an American promise about Greenland. This is the fascinating story which President Trump apparently does not know, but which is still relevant today.

In his eagerness to take over Greenland, President Trump appears to be under a delusion.

On more than one occasion, the President has contended that Denmark’s rights to Greenland can be disputed and that it remains a mystery why the World’s largest island is even part of the Kingdom of Denmark.

»People really don’t even know that Denmark has any legal right to it,« President Trump has argued. He recently reiterated that he does not believe that Greenland even belongs to Denmark.

»It has only been taken out on very few occasions,« says Asger Svane-Knudsen and places the single sheet of paper on the table in front of us.

The last sentence is the essential part as that is where the USA promises »that the Government of the United States of America will not object to the Danish Government extending their political and economic interests to the whole of Greenland.«

It is dated in New York on 4 August 1916 and signed personally by Robert Lansing (1864-1928), the then Secretary of State of the USA, on behalf of the Government of the United States of America.

With a single stroke of a pen, the USA accepted that the whole of Greenland was Danish territory.

2. Very Good Knowledge!

Please send along to our favorite media contacts, post on BlueSky. This is great.

Somehow reminds me of the document Russia signed guaranteeing Ukrainian sovereignty

4. How many promises and treaties and other documents has the US violated

Tell that to the Native Americans, and whomever else we have backed away from our signed promises

7. Opps, signed by a representative of an illegitimate president, a Democrat - Woodrow Willson

Definitely not a valid document if implemented by a Democrat.
