Leader of former Danish colony, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, condemns US ‘threats’ as Nordic neighbours offer support

Greenland has urged Donald Trump to give up his “fantasies about annexation” after the US president, fresh from his military operation in Venezuela, again threatened to take over the Arctic territory.

In a bracingly direct statement, the Greenlandic prime minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, accused the US of “completely and utterly unacceptable” rhetoric, declaring: “Enough is enough.”

On Sunday, Trump said the US needed Greenland “very badly” – renewing fears of a US invasion of the largely autonomous island, which is a former Danish colony and remains part of the Danish kingdom. Greenland’s foreign and security policy continues to be controlled by Copenhagen.

    Lol, they are writing a strongly worded letter as we speak to send Trump from a cell next to Maduro. They caved to the spoiled child and taught him he’ll get what he wants one way or another.

    This is how you respond to Trump.

    “We’re not playing games here. You threaten to take a sovereign country from us one more time and we’ll have you executed while over half your country cheers for the death of their pedophile dictator.”
