Trump has scrapped a state visit to Denmark after Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen shot down his idea that Copenhagen could sell Greenland to the U.S.
Trump tweeted on Tuesday: “Denmark is a very special country with incredible people, but based on Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen’s comments, that she would have no interest in discussing the purchase of Greenland, I will be postponing our meeting scheduled in two weeks for another time........The Prime Minister was able to save a great deal of expense and effort for both the United States and Denmark by being so direct.
Trump’s move was met with shock and confusion in Copenhagen. Former Danish foreign minister Martin Lidegaard said the incident was a “diplomatic farce.” Former prime minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt wrote that the move was “deeply insulting” to the people of Denmark and Greenland.
