‘Classic Trump’: Byron York dissects strategy president used to get Greenland deal
January 22, 2026 | Mariane Angela
Fox News contributor Byron York on Wednesday broke down what he described as a familiar Trump negotiating playbook, saying the president deliberately opened with an outsized demand about Greenland to seize leverage and shape the entire conversation.
Trump has insisted the United States must take control of Greenland for national security reasons and has threatened sweeping tariffs on European countries to pressure them into surrendering full authority over the island. During a panel discussion on “Special Report with Bret Baier,” York laid out what he described as a textbook example of President Donald Trump’s negotiating style.
“This was kind of classic Trump, wasn’t it? Trump wants something, and then he asks for 10 times that. The other side flips out, and they go back and forth and go back and forth. It becomes a huge news story,” York told host Bret Baier.
York said that the endgame was predictable, with the other side eventually offering a deal close to what Trump sought at the outset.
