…#COFA agreements have previously been inked w/ #independent countries, & #Greenland would likely need to separate from #Denmark for such a plan to proceed. While polls show Greenlanders are interested in #independence, surveys also show most do NOT want to be part of the US [who can blame them? Under #Trump, many US-ians aren’t anymore either]. A COFA - which cedes significant autonomy to Washington - *could* [will] be viewed with similar skepticism.

#geopolitics

#Trump, who during his first admin floated the idea of acquiring #Greenland, has pressed even harder since taking office in January [he’s obsessed], refusing to rule out taking the island by #force. #Denmark, which governs the island, has sharply rebuffed the idea.

A #COFA agreement would stop short of Trump's ambition to make the island of 57k people a part of the US. It is not the only plan on the table, sources said, & it would face many practical hurdles. [like, they’re not interested]

While the precise details of #COFA agreements—which have only ever been extended to the small island nations of #Micronesia, the #MarshallIslands & #Palau—vary depending on the signatory, the US govt typically provides many essential services, from mail delivery to emergency management [which under #Trump’s #FEMA reductions isn’t even provided in the US] to #military protection. In exchange, the #USmilitary operates freely in COFA countries & #trade w/the US is largely duty-free.
