Summary
Greenland’s prime minister, Múte B Egede, condemned the planned visit by Usha Vance, Mike Waltz, and US Energy Secretary Chris Wright, calling it “foreign interference” and urging international support against American pressure.
The visit, seen as a charm offensive amid ongoing coalition talks, sparked local outrage, with Jens-Frederik Nielsen, leader of Greenland’s Democrats, criticizing the US for disrespecting Greenland’s sovereignty.
Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen emphasized cooperation with the US based on respect for sovereignty.
Extra Danish police have been deployed to Greenland ahead of the visit.
This is being called hybrid warfare in Denmark. Similar to what Russia did in Ukraine before the annexation of Crimea.
Stg Republicans have zero concept of how repulsive they are to other countries (as well as most of the US). No one invited these assholes, no one wants them, they just show up and everyone’s gotta be pretend they’re welcome. I can’t think too much about this it’s making me sick
I don’t think that they will feel welcomed in Greenland any time soon. I trust that their visit will be unpleasant. That said, saying that they are repulsive to most of the US, is not going to cut it. Having elected this administration, has its consequences, and you can’t just say “oh we hate him too”… This is not how democracy works. The Trump administration is the US for now, and to change this, you have to wait until the next election.
I didn’t say ‘we hate him too’ I said most of the US. You’re taking my 70%-ish number and acting like I said 100%. We ain’t talking about democracy here
This is how democracy works though. The USA has elected Trump and his administration so if your 70% is true, then the result should have been different.
For now, these are the consequences of the choices that the majority of the USA ellected
They are well aware of how we feel about them. They just don’t care.
Everything the American government does at the moment is with full intent. its calculated and the sooner we stop thinking of them as stupid and incompetent the better.
