https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/18/politics/us-buy-greenland-danish-prime-minister/index.html Danish prime minister calls Trump's interest in buying Greenland 'absurd' Washington (CNN) The Danish Prime Minister called Donald Trump's interest in buying Greenland "absurd" the same day the President confirmed he had discussed the possibility of the US purchasing the country -- albeit, Trump said, it wasn't a high priority for America. "Greenland is not for sale. Greenland is not Danish. Greenland belongs to Greenland," Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen on Sunday told newspaper Sermitsiaq. "I strongly hope that this is not meant seriously." Trump has on multiple occasions brought up buying Greenland -- an autonomous Danish territory -- from the Danish government and the White House counsel's office has looked into the possibility, two sources told CNN last week. On Sunday, Trump confirmed his interest in buying the country, telling reporters that Greenland is hurting Denmark. "We are good allies with Denmark, we protect Denmark like we protect large portions of the world, and the concept came up," the President said in New Jersey before heading to Washington. "Strategically it's interesting, and we would be interested, but we will talk with them a little bit." "It's not number one on the burner, I can tell you that," Trump said. Frederiksen on Sunday said conversations around the US buying Greenland were "an absurd discussion." "(Greenland Premier) Kim Kielsen has of course made it clear that Greenland is not for sale. That's where the conversation ends," she said.
Prepare for Denmark to be declared a terrorist country based on their ruthless Viking raiding of long ago. Time to liberate Greenland.
But I was jokinging though... https://thehill.com/homenews/admini...g-meeting-with-denmarks-leader-over-greenland Trump postpones meeting with Denmark's leader over Greenland comments
Denmark must be forced to bend the knee. If we don't fight them over there, we will have to fight them here, or something.
I swear, the US president really is a special case. How many allies can a country alienate within a short period of time? What if Germany suggested they want to buy Alaska and wouldn't meet with the US before they'd discuss it?
Wonder what Trump's comments would be if Mexico offered to buy the Southwest back? Trump calls Danish PM's response on Greenland 'nasty' After the Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen called President Donald Trump's interest in buying Greenland from Denmark "absurd," Trump called her comments "nasty."
