Basically the same deal that we already had. We get to re-staff some bases where we were already welcomed, but had left because who wants to sit at a base freezing your ass off. The Europeans stood up to Trump's bully tactics and told him to pound sand and exhibited what they could do with united economic clout. Someone must have sat him down and explained to him, like a 5 year old, that the EU is our largest trading partner. Do we really want to blow that up? Now he gets his face-saving "agreement" which he will talk up at home while the world, once again, laughs at the US.

There is no deal ; let’s wait for the details .

It’s a compromise at best ; got to save face

I hope they look after their veterans that are unlucky to be stationed there. Going to be a lot of frost bite.

I think he really wants a golf course. He's never been there but it is called Greenland.

This is a good thing. China or Russia establishing military bases could tip the balance of power in the world slightly in their favour. It would be difficult for a weak future POTUS to say no to those two giants, if there are 15 ICBM's pointed at New York and Washington DC, right there on America's doorstep.
