Jamie Dimon warned Trump's agenda would push U.S. allies toward China--Greenland already says it may 'look elsewhere' for
for mining investmentAmid growing unease with President Trump’s foreign policy, which JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon warns could isolate the U.S. under an “America alone” doctrine, foreign governments like Greenland are rethinking their investment alliances and considering alternatives such as China. Dimon has emphasized the importance of maintaining strong economic and military partnerships, a warning that resonates as Greenland—home to vital untapped resources—signals frustration with U.S. diplomacy and explores other global investors to support its development goals.
Foreign governments are beginning to shop around when it comes to drumming up investment, potentially stepping away from ties with Donald Trump’s America.
The White House’s foreign policy under President Trump has raised eyebrows for a range of reasons, whether it’s been renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, claiming Canada will be adopted as the 51st state, or making bids to bring Greenland under its control. And that’s before you consider tariffs.
The altered, often unpopular, stance of the Oval Office has led to economic experts like JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon to question whether Trump’s “America First” policy may end up as “America alone.”

It's actually a pretty interesting situation. A map of northern Canada:
shows the "Northwest Passage" as M'Clure Strait to the west joining Parry Channel going east (with several Canadian islands to the north, the largest being Ellesmere Island), then proceeding south through Baffin Bay west of Greenland. However, if the artic ice pack ever recedes further north in the Artic Ocean to the vicinity of the North Pole, the small map insert shows a much wider (and shorter to Europe) potential path to the north of both Canada and Greenland (which is considered international waters (ice)). As well, IIRC, both Russia and China have made noises about the Northwest Passage being declared international waters.
Russia has not claimed AFAIK any lands this side of the North Pole but, since the Canadian Artic islands are so sparsely populated and developed, that is a big concern as Canada would have little chance of repelling Russian aggression there.
Trump is right about one thing at least - Canada had better get more serious about military contributions to both NATO and, defense of the Canadian Artic.
Makes me want to grab a few boxes of Wheaties, some trail mix, and a kayak. Then plan a relaxing summer trip.
Just kidding. I am too old and crusty to plan such an excursion of that magnitude.
I appreciate the info.
