Summary
Trump renewed calls for the US to annex Greenland for “national security” reasons during an Oval Office briefing, claiming “I think it will happen.”
Greenland’s outgoing Prime Minister Múte Egede responded on Facebook: “Enough is enough,” and planned to summon all Greenland’s political parties for a joint rejection.
Likely incoming Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen also called Trump’s statement “inappropriate.”
Trump also undermined Denmark’s claim to Greenland, saying it was “very far away and really has nothing to do” with the island.
Danish Defense Committee Chairman Rasmus Jarlov warned that US annexation “would mean war between two NATO countries.”
This shit is so insanely dumb and short-sighted. But not surprising given his business “acumen.”
This is literally the only thing he knows.
