That's the view of Thomas Dans, Trump's Arctic commissioner. He's regarded as one of the main proponents of the president's interest in Greenland, an idea first brought to Trump by billionaire and former diplomat Ronald Lauder.

Okay, so this is just as meaningless of a quote as it sounds like. "The guy in charge of trying to extort Greenland says that the extortion is going great and it could be done tomorrow or next month (or next year, or next decade, or never)."

Way to go, USA today. You successfully reported nothing while also acting as a megaphone for the shitheads in charge.
