makes it strategically important. Its Thule Air Base can detect potential intercontinental ballistic missile threats against North America.

The Danish prime minister said it was"unavoidable" that the U.S. would have a greater military presence in Greenland in the future. "Fortunately, we've seen peaceful development in the Arctic in recent years and there is all the reason in the world to continue to support that. But we can see a rising interest in the Arctic from other countries, which impacts the security aspect—something we must react to," Frederiksen told TV2 News.

extremely rude and unbefitting the office that POTUS represents 😩

Trump angers the majority of his own country!

So Newsweek now recommends bowing to Queens who are not fiscally responsible? Imagine - Newsweek thinking the USA is a subordinate power?

And held his breath and put his hands over his ears and stomped his feet!

To be on bad terms with Denmark is like being on bad terms with Mother Teresa. What is America turning into ?

Nothing new here’s

He didn't get his way. Trump mad

God bless Denmark, Queen Margrethe II, and all Danes. The citizens of the United States appreciate your friendship and goodwill!!! We are experiencing an embarrassing period due to the presence of realDonaldTrump in the presidency. This impetuous buffoon scheduled golf on 9/2⛳️!

I think David Frum may have hit the nail on the head. Greenland is a red herring. What caused the postponement of the trip was Trump's worry that he would be compared to Obama, who's visiting the country around the same time.

He is beyond belief. Absolutely most repulsive human ever

Arrogant American.

I wonder if other world leaders are thinking this is the way to avoid hosting Trump. Just tell him they are not for sale.

Once Art of the Deal is translated into Danish, they’ll get it.

trump is sulking. not only was his overture rejected but he was once again exposed as an ignorant fool and by a woman no less.

No manners. No class! SAD!

Ridiculous.

Greenland doesn't want a queen. The people of Greenland want independence from the Danish monarchy. The USA is working hard to secure their freedom. GreenlandUSA

Absolutely positively the worst president ever.......ever

Bizarre and erratic are better words. I still can't believe I'm not reading the Onion when I read about the Greenland story. How did we ever deem this man fit for the presidency?

Queens response to tRump was rude. Duh. Clue.

Danish people, please be patient. The nightmare will be over in 2020.

This just in: The most disgusting human being in history continues to be the most disgusting human being in history. What else is new?

It's not just that Trump is incompetent, corrupt, clueless, racist and in bed with Nazis and Putin...he also lacks class.

Krisehandtering Lesson learned: Never invite Donald Trump.

Trump has no manners. He’s a simpleton with no grasp of history. He insults our allies.

Trump himself a rude fella.

Tell her that we don't have A president right now, this will be over soon

Lol
