Denmark Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen seems upset.
Settle down, Mette.
You saw what happened in Venezuela, right?? 😉
More on the story from The Washington Times:
Mr. Trump spoke openly late Sunday about bringing Greenland into the American fold after he captured Venezuelan strongman Nicolas Maduro so he could face trial in the U.S.
Denmark reacted strongly.
"Reacted strongly" puts it mildly, though getting any type of reaction from the Danes seems strong.
'I have to say this very directly to the United States: It makes absolutely no sense to talk about the need for the U.S. to take over Greenland,' Ms. Frederiksen posted on Facebook. 'The United States has no access to annex one of the three countries in the Commonwealth.'
Ms. Frederiksen said Denmark, which controls Greenland, is part of NATO and its security guarantee, so the U.S. already has 'wide access' to the island.
Speaking of NATO, the prime minister warned that the military alliance of NATO would cease to exist if the U.S. "attacks" another NATO nation this way.
Unfortunately for her, we Americans are kinda into that idea!
Denmark only provides 1-2% of NATO's budget each year. The U.S. provides 66-68%.
But the prime minister still considers Greenland "not for sale"
'And we from the Kingdom have invested significantly in the security of the Arctic,' she wrote. 'I would, therefore, strongly urge that on the side of the United States, stop the threats against a historically close ally and to another country and another people, who have very clearly stated that they are not for sale.'
Sounds like a job for the author of The Art of the Deal.
I'll leave you with the White House's Stephen Miller:
