As a Dane, I am extremely shocked that the American president-elect threatens another co-founding NATO country with economic and especially military power. Are there no decent Americans left?

[ZekiLaurentSadic]

Greetings from Denmark. Like we said in 2019 - Greenland is NOT for sale. And no bullying, propaganda or tough talk on ecco-chamber social media channels can change that. But we would like to make a counteroffer for the american congress: We would like to buy USA in its entirety. We promise to bring first class education reforms (you really need it) and our worldfamous healthcare system. The faith of the Trump and Musk administration we will leave entirely up to you.

Denmark is a NATO member, so don't worry. If the US invades your county, the US will send troop to help you.

Donald Trump wakes up every morning saying two words China and tariff.

Trump's new book

"How to have the world unite against the USA in 3 months or less."

This feels like an episode of The Simpsons

The EU should find its own way now. Can't be the lapdog of the US no more.. this is the outcome.

[sasazelenkovic]

I think he underestimates Denmark and the Danish people. This is not only a threat but also an insult. America should apologize to Denmark.

Chinese here. I don't know what happened and why I am here, but I heard someone call China China China

[Alexander-hbrf]

As a German I can't express how shocked I was when I heard that statement.
There is no way he can just threaten Denmark to give up its territory. We need to become more resilient against this idiot in the EU. The USA aren't a reliable partner anymore under Trump!

[marcoa.]

Did the US just threaten us EU countries with military action to annect EU`s OCT territory? Maybe we should discuss this intensively in Germany... Threaten Danes is also threatening Germany and whole EU.

[yanek]

Pole here. I am disgusted by American imperialism, and even more so, I am disgusted that this is a democratically elected imperialist. I hope the American people that voted for MAGA don't make the same mistake in 2028. My heart goes out to the Danes, Canadians, Panamanians and all of my fellow Europeans - because a very dark time is ahead of us.

GREENLAND WANTS TO BUY THE USA BACK!
Greenlandic Prime Minister Kim Kielsen offered yesterday to buy the USA. "It was Leif the Lucky who discovered America and his father, Erik the Red, who discovered Greenland and settled here. Therefore, it is only natural for us to get the USA back, " says Kim Kielsen. He has not yet decided on a price but believes that it should be relatively low considering the USA's colossal national debt. "And if we have to include Trump in the deal, it will, of course, be even lower, " he says.

As an italian, if trump threatens denmark with taxes, l will eat just danish salt butter and danish cookies.

may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal.

As Europeans, we should reevaluate our relationship with America. Clearly being so dependent on them is doing us wonders right now.

[marcinderecki]

How can he threatens Denmark!!! It’s a NATO founder country!!! Where is EU? Where is von der Layen? Where are all the EU Prime Ministers, Presidents? Why they do not answear back that shit!!! Greetings from Poland to all Danes

[Alex-mdsv]

united states of idiocracy. When will Costco start selling college degrees?

[PrincessGigi-]

I've never been more ashamed of America.

This is like a living nightmare, and the fact that so many Americans selected this, by choice, leads me to believe that America has grown irredeemable.

[differentsense]

Norway stands with Denmark. Europe will fight the Americans if it comes to this.

Norwegians have been super loyal go America. Now most people starts questioning if China perhaps is the better side.
