🚨JUST IN: NATO is cooling Trump’s “Greenland deal” talk. A spokesperson says Trump and Rutte discussed Arctic security and “collective” defense—no mention of the U.S. acquiring Greenland, and no confirmation any deal exists. NATO says talks will involve Denmark, Greenland, and the U.S.

I understand the logic of providing Trump an off-ramp so he can back out with some dignity, but I think it's dangerous to do so. Each time these issues are resolved this way, he will be tempted to conduct himself this way again. What he needs is a public spanking.

Trump: "They didn't allow the water to come down from the Pacific Northwest. They routed the water into the Pacific Ocean. So we had no water there. No, he had -- I would say open up the water. Open it up to the governor, the mayor. They wouldn't do it. They wanted to protect a tiny little fish."

TRUMP: Yeah. He's been invited
Q: Thoughts on Macron saying he won't join?
TRUMP: Did he say that? Nobody wants him bc he's going to be out of office very soon. If they feel hostile, I'll put a 200% tariff on his wines & champagnes & he'll join
