A former Danish prime minister on Thursday lashed out at U.S. President Donald Trump for his tweet about military spending, saying defence willingness is not just about the amount of money spent.

Lars Loekke Rasmussen's comment is the latest in an escalating spat between the U.S. and Denmark after Trump scrapped a visit to the country, saying current Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen was "nasty" when she rejected his idea of buying Greenland as an absurdity.

"We will not accept that our defence willingness is only about percentages," Loekke Rasmussen tweeted. "I told you at the NATO Summit in Brussels last year." Trump said her comment "was nasty. I thought it was an inappropriate statement. All she had to say was say, 'No, we wouldn't be interested."'The political brouhaha over the world's largest island comes from its strategic location in the Arctic. Global warming is making Greenland more accessible to potential oil and mineral resources. Russia, China, the U.S.

In 1979, Greenland and its 56,000 residents, who are mainly indigenous Inuits, got extensive home rule but Denmark still handles its foreign and defence policies, as well as currency issues.

Trump promises not to build a Trump tower (like this) in GreenlandThe tweet came a day after he acknowledged he was ‘strategically’ interested in a deal but it’s not a top priority This is too stupid to be an actual news story - which is why no one at NatPo is willing to admit to authoring it. Alternate headline.... Trump makes hilarious joke, poking fun at himself. Of course., there’s only 55,000 people

Greenland leader again rejects Trump buying ideaGreenland has again stolen the limelight when its premier reiterated that the world's largest island is 'not for sale' after U.S. President Donald Trump floated the idea of buying the semi-autonomous Danish territory in the Arctic. This is not a 'Trump' thing although his Tower Troll was Hilarious - Buying Greenland and the costs associated with the Island have been talked about for 20 yrs - ie Russia Hmm almost like throughout history people have bought and traded land... Probably the best thing for Greenland...public union's would have bankrupted it long before any glaciers had time to melt.
