Who would have thought that President Trump’s offer to buy Greenland would have been rejected. He obviously felt very rejected. He can’t imagine one good reason why Greenland would not want to sell to the USA.
Those rare earth resources are vital to the future and USA is rather late in the race. Being well behind China which is very displeasing, President Trump is chasing after a supply that will “Make America Great Again”.
With so much happening in the northern hemisphere, it is rumoured that President Trump has turned his attention to possible purchases further afield. He is looking South and a little East. With the awful expense of Venezuela and Iran, he is looking at lands smaller in area. Australia is not smaller, and far too unreliable. President Trump is not really clear what exactly the rare earth minerals are, but he knows New Zealand has volcanoes, and that is rare enough.
There aren’t many people either way down there, so objections would be limited. Anything is worth a try. After all, President Trump is a successful business man and he can talk business. The direct approach is best, so a phone call to the Prime Minister, Chris Luxon should at least ascertain how much rare earth they have and what price for those two islands.
A Thought For Easter
Let’s try and focus on the people around us. It is our people who are the “rare earth”. The feats they are capable of when treated with respect and goodwill and when they are included as integral contributors is the future of New Zealand. Drive carefully and calmly. Enjoy the longer evenings with Daylight Savings.
