What will this all mean? TBC..
We don’t know any of the details of the commission yet.
But it gives us hope. There will be another attempt at diplomacy.
Maybe we can tire them out? Wait for them to get distracted? For midterms to come around?

GN/DK/US to do high-level commission on Greenland
The Danes have hit the US with our secret weapon: drown them in bureaucracy and yet another commission where we will discuss the same thing over and over, only for it to drag out endlessly
