Danish MEP Reprimanded After Telling Trump 'F*** Off' Over Greenland
Jan 22, 2025, 12:55 PM
Anders Vistisen, a Danish Member of the European Parliament from Denmark's hard-right Danish People's Party, has strongly rebuked U.S. President Donald Trump's interest in acquiring Greenland. During a session at the European Parliament in Strasbourg on January 21, Vistisen declared, "Mr. Trump, f*** off. Greenland is not for sale." His unusually harsh remarks led to an official reprimand for using profane language in Parliament. The dispute arises from Trump's expressed desire to purchase Greenland from Denmark, suggesting even military or economic pressure to make it happen, which has been met with firm opposition from Danish officials. Vistisen emphasized that Greenland has been part of the Danish Kingdom for 800 years and is an integral part of Denmark, rejecting any notion of selling the territory. The incident reflects heightened tensions between Denmark and the United States over Greenland.
