Donald Trump repeated his demand to be given control of Greenland in a “horrendous” phone call with the prime minister of Denmark.
The US president spoke to Mette Frederiksen for 45 minutes last week and became aggressive when he was told that Greenland was not for sale, the Financial Times [reported](https://www.ft.com/content/ace02a6f-3307-43f8-aac3-16b6646b60f6). Trump again threatened to impose punitive tariffs on Denmark if it refused to give up its autonomous territory in the Arctic.
Frederiksen offered closer co-operation with the US on military bases and mineral exploitation on the island, but senior European officials said Trump baulked at the offer, demanding full US control

Trump is great at ruining relationships with some of America’s staunchest allies. Denmark has been one of America’s closest allies in the EU and probably the one with the most pro-NATO foreign policy.
Seems the US foreign policy is now governed by one man’s ego. This is no longer about access to minerals or arctic security but the perceived prestige of expanding US territory.
In a decade from now, when he is dead and we are wondering how the U.S. got relegated to a second rate world power, I will scream the name of everyone I know who voted for him to the heavens and follow them with a spotlight until they get a restraining order against me
I’ve never been more embarrassed to be American. This news is heart-breaking.
It is wild to watch America become a fascist state in real time. I wonder what history has in store for us.
