Danish Lawmakers Furious Over Trump’s Cancelled Visit

“Danish lawmakers on Wednesday reacted in fury to President’s Trump’s postponement of his two-day visit in early September to Denmark after its prime minister said she was not interested in selling him the autonomous island of Greenland,” the Washington Post reports.

“Parliamentarians and former government ministers slammed the president’s behavior as juvenile, undiplomatic and insulting, though the government itself has yet to comment on the visit’s cancellation and instead scheduled a news conference for the afternoon.”

According to Politico, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen “is scheduled to speak to the press at 3 p.m. local time to address the U.S. snub — and there have been calls for her to avoid making the situation worse and risking a political crisis.”
