Greenland will decide its own future and the autonomous Danish territory will not become part of the United States, its new prime minister has said. japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/03/… #worldnews #politics #us #republicans #donaldtrump #jdvance #greenland #denmark


Denmark considered US one of its closest allies. Now many Danes are refusing to buy American. “…a protest against US President Donald Trump & …his obsessive determination to take over #Greenland, an autonomous territory that is part of the Kingdom of #Denmark. Tens of thousands of Danes have joined a Facebook group dedicated to sharing advice about how to avoid American-made products and instead buy local.”

"U.S. President Donald Trump hinted he could use #MilitaryAviation force to take over #Greenland — in the latest sign of #Washington's fixation with the autonomous territory in the Kingdom of #Denmark.

“We’ll get Greenland. Yeah, 100 percent,” Trump told NBC."

“An American is about ten times more likely to be incarcerated than a Dane. Danes have access to universal and essentially free health care… Danes on average live four years longer than Americans. In Denmark university education is free… Danish parents share a year of paid parental leave. In the US, one parent might get twelve weeks of unpaid leave. … American children are about twice as likely as Danish children to die before the age of five..”

“The US is is 24th in the world in the happiness rankings. Not bad. But Denmark is number two (after Finland). On a scale of 1 to 100, Freedom House ranks Denmark 97 and the US 84 on freedom — and the US will drop a great deal this year.”

“The comparison between life in the United States and life in Denmark is not just polemical. Musk-Trump treat Europe as though it were some decadent abyss… But Europe is not only home to our traditional allies; it is an enviable zone of democracy, wealth and prosperity with which it benefits us to have good relations, and from which we can sometimes learn.”

“Hans Christian Andersen told the unforgettable tale of the naked emperor. In Greenland what we saw was American imperialism with no clothes. Naked and vain.”

“The American imperialism directed towards Denmark and Canada is not just morally wrong. It is strategically disastrous. The United States has nothing to gain from it, and much to lose.”

“As with everything Musk-Trump does, however, the cui bono question about imperialism in Greenland is easy to answer: Russia benefits. Putin cannot contain his delight with American imperialism over Greenland. In generating artificial crises in relations with both Denmark and Canada, …the Trump people cut America loose from security gains and create a chaos in which Russia benefits.”

“We really do have a problem taking responsibility. The United States has fallen well behind its allies and its rivals in the Arctic, in part because members of Vance’s political party denied for decades the reality of global warming…”

“There are only a couple hundred Americans at Pituffik where once there were ten thousand; there is only that one US base on the island [Greenland] where once there were a dozen; but that is American policy, not Denmark’s fault.”

“Greenland, Denmark, and the United States have been enmeshed in complex and effective security arrangements…for the better part of a century. Arctic security, an issue discovered by Trump and Vance very recently, was a preoccuption for decades during and after the cold war.”
—Timothy Snyder, The Imperialism Has no Clothes

”It takes some patience to unwind all of the nonsense… When Vance says that Denmark is not protecting Greenland…, he is wishing away generations of cooperation, as well as the NATO alliance itself. … The threat in the Arctic…is Russia… But right now the United States is supporting Russia… No one is doing more to contain the Russian threat than Ukraine.”

At least the Greeks had the common courtesy to hide inside a horse.

Putin says Greenland 'nothing to do with Russia' in nod to US

> In Murmansk, the largest city north of the Arctic circle, President #VladimirPutin vowed to "strengthen Russia's global leadership in the Arctic", while warning that "geopolitical competition in the region" was intensifying

> The first example he gave was #DonaldTrump's idea to acquire #Greenland

> But from the Kremlin leader there was no criticism of his #US counterpart bbc.com/news/articles/c7432451… #Russia #Denmark #Danmark


This troubles me in so many ways! My President is acting like one of those nasty bullies that tormented me when I was young! I hate bullying!!

“Trump says US will 'go as far as we have to' to get control of Greenland”

lol apparently the reason JD Vance's trip to #Nuuk was canceled was that they could not find a single person in #Nuuk who wanted to receive an in home visit from the vice president's family.

According to Danish TV they literally knocked on every door in the entire city (not that hard, there's only ~5,000 houses) trying to find someone who wanted an in home visit from Usha Vance... and 100% of the Greenlanders said no.

Get rid of them. The F-35 may be a significant investment, but it's one that #Denmark cannot afford to continue with. If #Putin decides he's had it with #NATO, his puppet #Trump will cut all all support, and the #F35 will become a very expensive paperweight. Better to get an inventory of Gripens, Rafales, or even Eurofighters. Get America's fingers out of European and NATO defense, as much as possible.


Rasmus Jarlov is a Danish politician, who is a member of the Folketing (the Parliament of Denmark) for the Conservative People's Party. From 2018 to 2019 he was Minister of Business Affairs.

His warning to our allies:

After repeated threats to take over #Greenland, Trump now demands #Denmark send #eggs to the US amid shortage to drive down prices.

Greenland will hold a parliamentary election on March 11 with independence a key campaign theme after U.S. President Donald Trump said he wants control over the world's biggest island. FRANCE 24's Sharon Gaffney speaks to Matt Qvortrup, Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for European Studies at the Australian National University. He says that Trump is behaving towards Greenland like Saddam Hussein did with Kuwait.

#Denmark PM Frederiksen:

"Europe needs to wake up. We don't want a war We need to avoid it. That’s why we must be able to deter #Russia from attacking Europe again.

Now we're heading home. The European unity is strong. This makes me optimistic. Because we need this more than ever"
