NEW: Danish PM says she is surprised that the US president canceled his visit over refusal to sell Greenland.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen expressed “regret and surprise” Wednesday that President Donald Trump had canceled his early September visit to her country after she rebuffed his interest in buying Greenland, a Danish territory.

“And therefore, I would like to underline our invitation for stronger cooperation on Arctic affairs still stands,” she said.Trump’s proposal to purchase the autonomous Danish territory, however, “has clearly been rejected” by Greenland's prime minister, Kim Kielsen, and herself, Frederiksen said.

She got lucky!!

LOL... They are as dumbfounded as we are as to how an idiot got elected to the highest office in the US.

You guys need to get your reporting straight. He didn't cancel because they wouldn't sell, we canceled because of their disrespectful comments. Stop spinning the news and start reporting with objective journalism.

Disgusted with him canceling his trip.

Wow...Literally she is begging trump to reverse the decision he already made... what a weak leader.

Pretty sure POTUS advisors strongly pushed to nix the meeting with Statsmin because they were afraid of what inappropriate pass he'd try to make

Class act.

you are a class act.....thank you for your service and hospitality. Respectfully, SE.

A woman told the almighty Trump NO, so now he is going to stomp his feet, put and then throw a tantrum.

She had no idea she was dealing with a 70yr old baby!

Scared of the BarackObama comparison a few weeks later huh?

JIMrichards1010 Trump can't handle strong women

They already sold Greenland out to China...China mines Uranium and Zinc in Greenland.....Communist China has a hold on Greenland..........understanding the Presidents trolls are important.....

The world 🌍 sees how foolish & moronic Donald Trump is-just be patient world 🌎 we hope to vote realDonaldTrump out 2020Elections denmarkdotdk Denmark_UN cnni BBCWorld UN TrumpRussia MoronInChief Denmark GreenlandIsNotForSale DNC GOP foxandfriends

Oh just count your blessings!!!

Hey realDonaldTrump have you lost your marbles? GREENLAND? REALLY? Get trade with China done then come back and talk Greenland. We good? Ok

Trump tries to grab her Greenland by the...

denmark must get completely different coverage

I am soooo embarrassed! How in the hell did a man with so little character become the leader of our great country. I know that people were looking for change but he was not the answer. We are better than this. We must all VOTE in 2020 to bring back civility to this nation!

Count your blessings!

Immigrants bring in success, a vibrant economy and a youthful nation w/out immigrants you are lacking. The US, UK, AU, Germany, France all booming on the other side you have homogenous economies that hv bn struggling, one way or the other, depending on immigrant rich nations.

Dear Danish PM. He isn't right in the head.

This is so embarrassing. ToddlerInChief 'Greenland is not for sale,' she (Danish PM) said Sunday on a visit to Greenland. 'Greenland is not Danish. Greenland belongs to Greenland. I strongly hope that this is not meant seriously.'

Wait, leaders are allowed to face the media without helicopter engines thumping in the background?

Well sounds like they have some attic problems. Good luck with that

Hottest Prime Minister around hands down .... I wouldn’t have cancelled. ...

Class act.

This whole thing is just surreal.

Um... The Danish PM is kinda hot

Please disregard our embarrassment. Stay focused of reality and NEVER sell to a snakeoil salesman.

BerubeDenise1 Can we please buy Hong Kong and save a lot of trouble?

Then pay for your own security that we provide.

Someone has to run the invasion.....

Trump is Riding on the United States Power and previous standings but realDonaldTrump is destroying those relationships. denmarkdotdk should not beg. ABC CBSNews CNN MSNBC

Madam Prime Minister be happy he did. Be very very happy!

She shouldn't be surprised, the U.S. has a toddler for a president.

Might be a good idea that he doesn't go to Denmark. The PM is kinda cute and we know what Trump believes he can do to any woman...'Grab them by the pussy.'

Trump canceled visit because Denmark won't sell him Greenland...

Trump is never gonna get those nice white immigrants now.

He's found an attention mongering way to distract from the fact that he cannot face her over climate change. That and she's a woman head of state who speaks more than one language eloquently. He can't handle the truth. DisloyalToTrump

ziyatong She should be glad donnie isn’t coming, it’s hard to get the swamp stink out of the country

whatsanitylookslike

lol

Countries and cities around the role are now going to refuse to sell him Greenland.

Shorter Twump:

I guarantee the cancellation was not over Greenland.

Sell US Your Greenland.

Why?He is a child and has temper tandrums like a baby!!!!!!If he does not get his way this is what he does!!!!!!!!!He is a cry baby.....such an embarrassment!!!!

She shouldn’t be surprised. He’s a man Child. She will get what she was looking for in a visit by Obama. She set the bar WAY too high for Trump!

Thank you Denmark for standing with the United States. You are a valued ally of our country. Pay no attention to trump. We are going to vote him out.

Yeah. About that 2% of GDP for NATO. Put up or shut up. Or sell Greenland.😏

And, somehow, this is not a headline from the Onion.

Poor baby had his fragile ego stepped on by another powerful women. We all know how he handles that.

Don't be surprised he's a child when he doesn't get his way .I apologise.he a child at all times.He is really upset because president Obama was invited there

realDonaldTrump can change his mind Sweet Lady Larseloekke if you change your mind too on Greenland! You being Danish PM not suppose to refuse Greenland sale to US President in media! After meeting you may excuse! Your refusal in media exploded in global media! AuthorWGA-Amazon

We’re not. This is all more distraction for the news cycle. MSM falls in Trumps traps daily

Count your blessings!

It's hard to be this dense, but MSNBC does it on purpose. He cancelled the trip because she was flippant and disrespectful in her remarks.

Trump just didn't want to go. He's happy to keep MSM talking re Greenland. Then they're not talking about....what? His decades long relationship with Epstein? The rape lawsuit where he & Epstein were co-defendants? The Senate Oversight Committee Report? FEC Chair's letter?

she shouldnt of been suprised when she is just trieing to make President Trump look bad by not selling Green land. We want to make a deal but if there going to be stuborn will just take it are selves! GO TRUMP GO USA MAGA Trump2020

Because she made him look foolish (we all know it doesn’t take much), and he’s throwing a tantrum. The man is an adolescent imbecile.

She didn’t realize she was dealing with an infant

Surprised? I'm surprised she's surprised. It's TRUMP! No surprise, at all.

Consider yourself lucky Greenland.

Really? She was surprised to learn Trump is a petty child?

Sounds like really wants a Deal!

She shouldn't be. Trump is unfathomably petty.

If she's surprised now, just wait till he threatens to invade Greenland. Fortunately, Trump probably couldn't find Greenland on a map, so they're relatively safe.

having a hissy fit over not getting his way... typical rich brat

Trump is so embarrassing ....

Billionaire Presidents... what to do with them?

Sie sollte froh sein....

Don't be! Welcome to Trump's crazy world.

But she’s not reeeeally surprised.
