And Hawaii is not in America. Certainly neither is Guam etc.

What kind of argument are you even trying to make?

Sure, no argument here.

Mostly that characterizing Greenland as European is just as insane as characterizing French Guiana that way. Or the falknlands, New Caledonia, Polynesia, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Aruba, Curaçao, Anguilla, Bermuda, the Virgin Islands, etc etc. These are colonies—not part of europe, and should have been made whole decades ago with the resolution of WWII, and their continued presence as "rightfully" part of European nations destabilizes our globe.

Europe is welcome to extend its economic privileges to all nations of earth, and I for one will continue to argue for kicking us out of Hawaii and Guam while ensuring we don't further engage in predatory trade agreements.

Of course, I don't expect any of this predation to cease anytime soon.

That the EU tries to keep hold on its colony and gets jealous when the US talks to Greenland citizens over the EU's head.
