[FWI] Trump trades Alaska to Russia, claims "greatest deal ever" - How would Republicans defend this?
Future What If: Trump trades Alaska to Russia in exchange for:
- Russia reducing nuclear arsenal by 90%
- 100-year oil and rare minerals partnership favoring US
- Permanent US naval bases along Northern Sea Route with permanent access to that route
How would Republican leadership explain to voters why giving up US territory is actually "the best negotiation in history"?
Would Fox News pivot to showing maps of America without Alaska? Would we see talking points about "Alaska was too cold anyway" or "the greatest energy deal in human history"?
