Greenland is an autonomous Danish territory between the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans
The president was scheduled to visit on 2 September, at the invitation of Denmark's Queen Margrethe II. Danish PM Mette Frederiksen described the suggestion as"absurd" and said she hoped Mr Trump was not being serious. 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 president had earlier confirmed reports that he was interested in buying Greenland. When asked on Sunday if he would consider trading a US territory for the island, he replied:"Well, a lot of things could be done.
'Spat'? Trump made an absurd proposal, which Denmark quickly rejected. How is this a spat?
'spat'...? An insane toddler's temper tantrum more like.
Trump needs time out.
Great.
And the government want to deals with him. What happens if wants to buy Scotland.
It wasn't a spat. That implies it was 2 sided. This was all on the raving lunatic in the WH. Terrible headline
Spat❌ Tantrum ✔️
A bunch of Danes will be disspointed. Like, probably about five.
They didn't want to become Tangerineland?
Is it true that Obama is in Denmark a couple of days later and Trump doesn't want to be overshadowed?
'Spat' ? Really?
BBCWorld I plan on buying the Moon. But NASA won't sell it to me! I won't be speaking to them anytime soon! Sad.
Why is this deemed a 'spat'? It really isn't.
Why would he visit now? He wanted Greenland for it's strategic position right.
Spat? SPAT? The lunatic in charge of America is unhinged and is allowed to continue in office - that'e your news!
So that's where we went wrong. Should've offered them Norfolk then backtracked. Then the fucking orange prick that is realDonaldTrump wouldn't have wanted to come to the UK.
‘Spat: a short argument, usually about something unimportant.’ Greenland is unimportant, apparently.
realDonaldTrump is such a FANNY!
Aw poor baby Trump didn’t get his own way. Time to throw all his toys out of the pram
I'm sure Denmark are gutted about this!!!
Tell him he can buy Iceland’s instead. The one near me needs a tidy up
is this man for real a total waste of space-he becomes more ridicules by the day
Next April Fool‘s Day will be a tough gig. What could one possibly make up that tops this? spaghettitrees
I'm sorry I thought this was some sort of joke when I first read about it. So,, he was serious ? ? Good grief,, the man is lunatic.
They must be gutted
Sounds like the should sort out there differences... maybe we can help?
coz it makes sense that a tiny country in Europe owns Greenland?
Great news for the Danes, berry happy for you 👍
'Spat' they basically said no to crazy
Wasn't alaska bought by the US from Russia in 1867. The only difference here is the owner didn't want to sell.
Lol, great for Denmark!
Oh 😭 Bet Denmark is jus broken! Colluding with Russia, MULTIPLE rape allegations, racist remarks, children in cages, lost, dead... They're missing a real gem, realDonaldTrump, a real gem 😖🤪
If it was simple as that to stop a state visit then he should of put an offer in for the Isle of Wight ,the we could have told realDonaldTrump to piss off. But alas periodPoverty PM theresa_may bowed to the “taking kids from their parents, bankrupt racist” . Greenland
LOL!!! HA HA HA HA HA LMAO!! REALLY?!?! POTUS IS A DUFUS........
bet they are relieved not to host this orange clown and his grifting family.
Phew. That was a close call!
A spoilt child comes to mind.
Sociopathic egotistic child. The sort of news item you expect to see on the 1st of April. The world should simply ignore this crap... roll our eyes, and move on. 🙄
What Danish for 'Stupids not comming after all.'
You too with this headline? It wasn’t a spat. SCROTUS (So Called Ruler of the United States) pushed a ludicrous idea & he was shut down.
Bringing freedom to a whale OIL station near you.
I can see he'd make up some hunaitarian B.S. excuse then 'invade' err send the 'troo' err aid workers in and after a few months of gentle water boarding have the Greenland residents request statehood in the US you couldn't write a comedy about the stuff he comes up with
I’m sure the Danish are very disappointed ! 😂
Seriously W. T. F the man is a raving lunatic., I know let's suggest that he swap Hawaii for Greenland, it would be a warmer climate and the US practically stole it from the native Hawaiians anyway lol. Only one reason he is interested in Greenland and that's natural resources
Trump should cancel himself! PlanetKiller GlobalWarming
And people think doing a trade deal with him will be easy.....
The Danish breathe a sigh of relief
True businessmen..... Sale it or i wont come
Oh dear, another temper tantrum. This is a grown man displaying childish behaviour for all to see.
I'm sure the Danes are terribly disappointed.
Probably can’t find it on the map... thicko
What a child.
USA Intentions were leaked by staffers. This ain’t over. They want that land either peacefully or not!
Grandpops need to get his medication adjusted!
Hi, I dont know how many people will read this but the Amazonian rainforest has been burning for 16 days and I don't see it in the news...just trying to comment on profiles that people look at the most
Denmark should have said they'd swap it for New York State.
This is surely something out of a political satire.
He's like a spoilt child
The whole thing is a diversion to keep the public from what's really going on.
It wasn’t exactly a spat. Apparently out of the blue he said he wanted to buy it. They said it wasn’t for sale. He cancelled his visit.
We Make a suggestion: Why does the European Union not ask the United States to sell Alaska and Louisiana? Why not? Maybe Trump would like the Louisiana to be sold?👻👻👻😂😂😂
Fucking incredible.
Not you as well BBC! Do you really think that was the real reason. Dig deeper.
He doesn't think anyone should tell him no
Is this TheOnion ?
