Compact of Free Association (COFA)-The Greenland Solution
|
[Federalist] If the Danes don’t want to sell Greenland and the locals don’t want to form the 51st state, President Donald Trump is left with a third option.
But if the Danes don’t want to sell Greenland and the locals don’t want to form the 51st state, President Trump can pursue an agreement called a Compact of Free Association (COFA).
Managed by the Department of the Interior, a COFA is a mutual agreement with select countries that are guaranteed U.S. support and protection in exchange for exclusive regional access. Under these compacts, co-opted states receive limited economic assistance and allow the American military to maintain an exclusive security presence without the host territory’s forfeiture of national sovereignty. A COFA signed with Greenland would give the U.S. rights to manage regional security while the island maintains relative autonomy from both the United States and Denmark.
The U.S. currently has COFA agreements with a trio of Pacific nation-states. The U.S. provides military defense in exchange for military access, immigration privileges, and financial aid. COFA agreements govern the U.S. relationship with the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), and the Republic of Palau. The security arrangements give the Pentagon greater ability to counter Chinese aggression in the Pacific just as a compact with Greenland would provide an additional buffer in the Arctic.
Please note that Great White North refers affectionately to Canada only, not the global northern latitudes.
