Did Trump get Greenland 🇬🇱? NOPE’ All that posturing, and he walked away with a version of the deal the US has had for 75 years, arguably a weaker one. Not one inch of sovereign territory ceded. #trump #greenland

So “Cliff from Las Vegas” is going around Nuuk - capital of Greenland 🇬🇱, trying to pay the inhabitants to sign a document stating that they want 🇬🇱 to be part of USA. This is just outrageous! I’m furious 🤬 #Greenland #MAGA

In WW2 almost the entire Jewish population was saved in Denmark 🇩🇰 People hid them in cellars,attics, churches and hospitals. They were evacuated by boat to Sweden. Today I read about this 👇🏼in the New York Times!!

Trump imposes tariffs on NATO allies, threatens invasions, and disparages their armed forces. Now he expects NATO to rescue him from his poorly planned war with Iran. NATO members should refuse to bow to his demands.#Iran #NATO

Once again, the USA shows it hasn't learned from past mistakes. As the bombs stop falling on Iran, there's no clear plan for what comes next. Trump suggests that the USA and Israel will continue their actions for a few days or even longer, leaving Iranians to figure things out on their own.

The power structure in Iran is well entrenched, having prepared for situations like this for years. The Revolutionary Guard and Basij militia have gained strength, making it incredibly tough—if not impossible—for those wanting to challenge the regime. Let’s not forget what happened in Libya…

#NoWords Silent protest march to the US embassy in Copenhagen against Trump and his administration’s degrading comments about NATO allies having been “… a little behind the frontlines in Afghanistan”. Shame on him and his ilk!

I am angry! No, I am more than angry. What does the American president think he’s doing? His despicable remarks about the efforts of Danish soldiers in Afghanistan are completely unacceptable. It makes me extremely upset. During my years in Iraq, I had the great privilege of

working and living alongside changing teams from the Danish Special Forces. Several of the members had been deployed to Afghanistan. No one should or can doubt the tremendous effort that Danish soldiers have made there and

in Iraq. Many paid the ultimate price - their lives or their physical or mental to assist a NATO ally—an ally that now mocks them in such a scandalously unworthy manner. They all deserve our unwavering support. Lest we forget!

Trump; “They stayed a little bit back…” The ghosts of all the Danish soldiers killed in Afghanistan would like a word! As would all the Danish soldiers wounded in Afghanistan. Shame on the so-called president of the USA!

What deal?? He has negotiated nothing as in NOTHING! What he’s got is the 1951 agreement in US access to establish military bases in #Greenland. Besides he was just a small brat when that deal was made 😂

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask: "If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

Governor Jeff Landry, rumor has it that you are going to Greenland in March. Take my advice: stay the hell away. You’re not welcome there. With respect to the Kingdom of Denmark you’re a nobody. #dkpol

“This is 2026 – you can trade with people, but you don’t trade people.” This week’s best one liner. Thanks to the Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke for making this clear statement that even trump should be able to understand 🇩🇰🇬🇱🇩🇰🇬🇱

One year ago, the great people of Nuuk/Greenland demonstrated in front of the US consulate. They vented their anger against a US takeover of their country. Their message then is even more important! 🇬🇱

Statement by the Prime Minister of Denmark 🇩🇰 I must say this very directly to the USA: It makes absolutely no sense to talk about the necessity for the USA to take over Greenland. The USA has no right to annex any of the three countries in the Realm.

The Kingdom of Denmark - and thus Greenland - is part of NATO and is covered by the alliance's security guarantee. I strongly urge the USA to stop the threats against a historically close ally and against another country and another people. 🇬🇱🇩🇰

#Venezuela is Iraq all over again: OIL OIL OIL OIL The same stupid arguments about the Venezuelan people becoming rich. The US has not learnt absolutely nothing from all its past mistakes!

Maybe Maria Corina Machado did not deserve the #NobelPeacePrize after all – if she is in cahoots with trump. Her dedication of the prize to him raises serious questions. As will her reaction to todays events in #Venezuela #MariaCorinaMachado

Message to Trump from over here: it’s been stated very clearly before. Now we say it again. National borders and the sovereignty of states are rooted in international law. These are fundamental principles. One cannot annex other countries." So keep your tiny clammy hands off #Greenland 🇬🇱

Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. Women all over the world experience physical or psychological abuse. We must do whatever we can to stop this There’s absolutely no excuse for this kind of violence or abusive behavior. #noexcuse #stopviolence #november25

To dispel any doubts - this is a map indicating all American bases in Greenland 🇬🇱 All but one have been closed by the US. So Trump and Vance can stop their fictional story about Denmark 🇩🇰 and security! #dkpol #dkmedier
