playing golf in greenland would freeze his balls.....

US President Donald Trump has said he has no plans to build a golf course or other real estate in Greenland, framing his push to acquire the Danish territory as a purely strategic national security move. 

In an interview with NewsNation on Tuesday, Trump dismissed the idea of development on the island, saying it’s “really cold, it’s got a lot of ice on it.” He also ruled out playing golf there: “you’d have to wear a lot of very heavy clothing. We’re not going to set any records with golf.”

Trump, however, doubled down on his claims that acquiring the autonomous Danish territory is a matter of US national security, citing supposed threats posed by Russian and Chinese ships in the Arctic.

Moscow and Beijing have dismissed US claims that they pose a threat in the Arctic. Russia has condemned NATO’s militarization of the region, calling for it to remain a zone of peaceful cooperation.

Trump’s comments come amid escalating tensions with European allies over his push to take control of Greenland. Last week, he announced tariffs on eight European NATO countries, including Denmark, for opposing his bid and sending troops to the island. 

Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen has said a military conflict with the US “can’t be ruled out,” and his government is preparing guidelines for its 57,000 residents, including stocking up on food.

European leaders have issued sharp rebukes. Danish MEP Anders Vistisen told Trump to “f**k off” during a European Parliament debate, accusing the EU of failing to stand up to Washington.

Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever has described Trump’s threats as “unheard of” and warned that Europe is at a “crossroads” where it must choose between “self respect” and being a “miserable slave,” arguing that this could mean “the end of an era of 80 years of Atlantism.”

According to media reports, the dispute has already eroded trust within NATO, with some officials now withholding intelligence from the US over fears it could aid Trump’s Greenland ambitions.

rejection....

 

Denmark will not enter into talks about giving up its “fundamental principles,”Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen has said, after US President Donald Trump called for “immediate negotiations” aimed at taking control of Greenland. 

During a lengthy speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Wednesday, Trump reiterated that the US would seize Greenland from Denmark. Describing Greenland as “our territory,” Trump said that he is “seeking immediate negotiations to once again discuss the acquisition” of the island. 

Speaking to reporters shortly afterwards, Rasmussen said that Denmark refuses to relinquish sovereignty over Greenland. 

“We will not enter negotiations based on giving up fundamental principles,” he said. “That will never happen.”

We stand on a foundation that the United States largely helped to create after World War II,” he continued, adding that Denmark “will not budge an inch” on matters of national sovereignty. 

Greenland already hosts around 150 US troops at Pituffik Space Base, formerly known as Thule Air Base. Under the 1951 Greenland Defense Agreement, American forces can move freely on Greenland’s soil, and the Danish government has welcomed more frequent NATO deployments to the territory. However, Trump has insisted on “ownership” of the land, claiming that “the United States alone” can defend Greenland from the supposed threat posed by Russia and China, a claim Copenhagen, Moscow and Beijing have rejected. 

Informed by a reporter that Rasmussen had rejected his demand for negotiations, Trump said that “if he wants to tell me that, he’ll tell me to my face.” 

During his speech, he said that he would not “use force” to acquire Greenland, but warned that the Danes “have a choice. You can say yes and we will be very appreciative. Or you can say no, and we will remember.”
