President Trump canceled his visit to Denmark after its leader said she wouldn’t entertain his proposal to purchase Greenland

WASHINGTON—The White House on Tuesday canceled the president’s planned visit to Denmark after the prime minister said she wouldn’t entertain President Trump’s proposal to purchase Greenland from the Scandinavian nation.

“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,” Mr. Trumpwrote on Twitter.

They should've swapped Grönland for California

Which country is he planning to buy next?!

Dear Mette Frederiksen As you know Trump always was & still is a businessman, Telling him I will not sell you Greenland is perhaps not a good idea, that is why he is furious & cancelled visiting your country, So, its much better to exchange your Greenland with American lands👌

NavalInfantry Too bad it’s not up to her. It’s up to the husband of the Queen of England. This bird, literally has NOTHING to do, say, offer about this situation. It’s not her call. 2/3 of the country is a welfare state and she says “we are not for sale” LMFAO. Priceless.

Everything is always for sale. Creative ideas are never absurd.

Thanks to you leaking private deliberations. EnemyOfThePeople

So sad. Unfair. Trump thought Putin owned Denmark. Jeez, he didn't know it was run by a woman. Just sayin'

On the upside, if Trump agrees to visit Canada, we might be persuaded to sell him the province of Alaska.

Trump is not a serious person. It was smart of her to cancel on him to save her time. Americans have to wait 16 more months before we can cancel him.

Lucky Danes.

But the plan has already been executed...

Mette, you are lucky this is not the 16th Century, A.D. Otherwise, they will just come over and take your country as their colony!

Somebody's happy about this.

WHY SHOULD DENMARK SELL GREENLAND IT IS WORTH TRILLIONS WITH ALL THAT MINERAL WEALTH

Refuses to sell off part of her country that ISNT FOR SALE

Good. POTUS isn't interested in wasting our hard-earned tax dollars on bullshat.

FakeNews

Minor detail. Denmark 🇩🇰 doesn’t own Greenland 🇬🇱 Greenlandic people do.

He must really want that uranium

Hahaha you are better now Denmark, that man only goes to a place to get spoils. Funny but looks like he is the viking...

Anglo-conservatism isn’t welcome in Europe anyway. Trump, Hannan, Rees-Mogg, Farage, BoJo, Thatcher, Reagan, Hayek, Mises, Friedman. The brand doesn’t matter. Sleek, confrontational, enlightened, moderate. It’s all “fascism”. I think it’s time the Free World split up.

Trump believes that he can just walk up and buy a country that belongs to someone else and he's all busted up cuz they won't sell it to him. He's acting immature and he's unprofessional. He doesn't like no, but he needs to get used to it cuz he's gonna hear it a lot. NotForSale

Why does all this look like some landlord dispute more appropriate in the 1700s than 2019. We do know Greenland isn't green right?

dzielna kobieta i mały człowiek z daleka

We wont Alaska, California, Hawa'ē or els!

What a pathetic spoiled brat this ‘leader of the free world’ is...

Dear President realDonaldTrump , i would like to buy America, how much does it cost? 😂 Greenland GreenlandNotForSale Groenlandia

Lol

When is the circus going to leave town?

Keep it in Denmark, let Greenland keep green.

yeh but is it still listed on zillow ?

US troops and planes are already in Greenland. Denmark is a weak country with no military power.

Sewards Folly 2.0

U.S.A. SHOULD BUY GREENLAND AND CALL IT TRUMPLAND ! ! ! I WOULD LOVE IT ! ! !

That’s weird and hilarious

well done Denmark

Lucky Greenland

The Danish people are class act. And I think most people in the USA are too. We unfortunately have a manchild in the White House. Sorry about that.

omarbula Just take it realDonaldTrump And then when the UN demands it back say, how much?

😂😂😂 ridiculous 😂😂

... will be followed by the bombing of Greenland and proclaimed by the US State ..¿

That is literally idiotic! We can’t afford it and it’s insulting to Denmark. Maybe mooch is right.

GOOD FOR HER!!!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Hey Denmark, I live near realDonaldTrump Bedminster club. Tell me, how did you get him to NOT come there? ImpeachDonaldTrumpNOW PresidentPumpkinHead

Denmark is lucky that they don’t have to see his face.

He's such a man baby. They called his effort 'absurd' and that set him off because he has such a delicate ego.

THATS THE FUCK RIGHT 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻DENMARK, KEEP SAYING NO TO HIS DEALS. GREENLAND IS NOT FOR SALE. PERIOD!!!

She’s not very smart

Just take it, what can they do but throw delicious cookies at our boys .

A child throwing a fit cause he doesn’t get the toy he wanted...not at all surprising.

Is this really happening...

DIG! Be a journalist. Look into the history of Denmark, Greenland, their citizens and the Manhattan Project (atomic Bomb). Stop scratching the surface. RESEARCH. journalism

Big& foul- mouth of Trump brings needless troubles for him. His mouth is his best enemy.

He's pouting.

I have a question. If Trump purchase Greenland, who will get the money? Denmark government? I think the native people of Greenland should get the money.

Lol - and the swamp goes crazy.

She must know Trump has a compulsive need to spend money.

Aren’t there more compelling issues to work thru than buying Greenland?

Send Dennis Rodman.

Denmark owes NATO over 40 BILLION dollars, past due, over the last 20yrs. US taxpayers are sick and tired of paying for Denmark's defense, and the WSJ + US Chamber of Commerce are all to happy to dole out OUR money.

Was this on

It’s going to happen. We’re entering into negotiations and coming up with a price.

Amazon was out of the toothpaste I like so I canceled my prime membership.

Snowflake

Is this an article from The Onion?

I don’t know if this is a good idea cost benefit wise. Denmark press will now start entertaining the idea of the US effectively paying all off all of Denmark’s debts for an island that grows ice!

Nobody has a sense of humor. You all missed the joke.

Anti weeding as a process in Politics & civil services, as corruption will not go unless weeded out

Trump er helt skør? Han vil købe Grønland, vi siger nej, og han bliver vred?

I think for a lot of us it’s news that Denmark owns Greenland lol

He is STILL obsessing on this hare brained idea? Just stop already.

Wow 😮 I at glance I thought she was a man,lol. European women seem big boned. Some not many though 😆

Good for her!

Love it.

pay by new printing US$ ...

Thank you Denmark for remaining righteous. I apologize for the USA and beg your forgiveness.

He’s scared of any woman that tells him NO. What a punk.

I am sure the Danes will be more sophisticated about their response that FatNixon’s original hamhanded tweet

We will be back with 10 navy seals and the Chicago Bears defense. Let's do this the hard way.

Denmark has smart leaders.

A very stable genius.

realDonaldTrump stupid is as stupid does

'Greenland referendum finds that 90% of the local population voted to join the US'...Greenland has never liked being under the authority of Denmark in the 1st place! There's a history.

When will this mortifying clusterfuck of a presidency be over?

He loves Denmark. He's had lots of Danishes

something is rotten in the state of America’s lust for Denmark

😂😂😂

Well for starters.. what would you pay with? $USD? Noone wants that shit anymore. debt

WSJ RISE

Trump..

I’m happy to act on behalf of both parties
