If the US president has gambled with international law over Venezuela, then any similar operation in Greenland involving force would be a blatant violation. “I don’t need international law,” Trump said in a New York Times interview published on Thursday. “I think that ownership gives you a thing that you can’t do, whether you’re talking about a lease or a treaty. Ownership gives you things and elements that you can’t get from just signing a document.”That seems to be typical of Trump. But when it comes to real estate, especially on a global scale, Trump remains laser-focused on one thing - obtaining a winning deal.
