Thank you Polymarket for sponsoring the mid-week macro.

My computers screenshot taker has decided not to work, but the market of the week is looking at whether or not Trump/USA will acquire Greenland before 2027. There is currently a 20% chance of this happening. I have a feeling that this will actually happen somehow!
