Scott Jennings Makes CNN Face the Greenland Deal They Said Would Never Happen

Scott Jennings, CNN’s lone conservative voice, turned an on-air discussion of President Trump’s new Greenland Deal into a victory lap. The other panelists were left to listen as Jennings revisited months of criticism aimed at Trump’s Greenland vision.

For months, critics on the left had claimed that Trump was undermining American foreign policy and putting the relationship with Denmark at risk.
