The Danish foreign minister on Saturday scolded the Trump administration for its “tone” in criticizing Denmark and Greenland, saying his country is already investing more into Arctic security and remains open to more cooperation with the U.S.
Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen made the remarks in a video posted to social media after U.S. Vice President JD Vance’s visit to the strategic island.
“Many accusations and many allegations have been made. And of course we are open to criticism,” Rasmussen said speaking in English. “But let me be completely honest: we do not appreciate the tone in which it is being delivered. This is not how you speak to your close allies. And I still consider Denmark and the United States to be close allies.”
Vance on Friday said Denmark has “underinvested” in Greenland’s security and demanded that Denmark change its approach as President Donald Trump pushes to take over the Danish territory.
Vance visited U.S. troops on Pituffik Space Base on mineral-rich Greenland alongside his wife and other senior U.S. officials for a trip that was ultimately scaled back after an uproar among Greenlanders and Danes who were not consulted about the original itinerary.

Denmark and Greenland- Guess Who knocking
American MAGA, said get away
American MAGA, listen what I say
Don’t come a-hangin’ around my door
Don’t wanna see your face no more
I don’t need your war machines
I don’t need your ghetto scenes
Coloured lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else’s eyes
Now MAGA , get away from me
American MAGA, mama, let me be
Go, gotta get away, gotta get away
Now go go go
I’m gonna leave you, MAGA
Gonna leave you, MAGA
Bye-bye
Bye-bye
Bye-bye
Bye-bye
You’re no good for me
I’m no good for you
Gonna look you right in the eye
Tell you what I’m gonna do
You gonna need to leave..

Could Kammy find Greenland on a map? Joe has no clue. China, and Russia are already there. Why can’t we join in?

What kind of reception does one expect from a hostile and disrespectful bully with no knowledge of history and culture?
The Musk/Trump/Vance trio is an international disgrace and just plain dumb.

There is something endearing about Mimi and Peachy…I feel sad for them both, thinking that the angry, cruel, puerile, vindictive, bellicose, demented, confused felon and the chainsaw hacksaw sidekick have any interest in helping Americans. NN

Don’t worry, Nan. Owning the libs and chasing after shiny things is what they live for. I especially like their love for the guys who bash vaccines but got them for themselves and their families. It’s a special kind of hypocrisy you dont see everyday, unless you go to a CPAC convention and meet Mr. Schlapp, or try to exercise your 2nd amendment rights while attending a Desantis or Trump rally.

Or complain about government fraud and then vote for Rick Scott repeatedly.
