Trump ridiculed official Copenhagen with its "dog sleds"

Donald Trump, speaking to reporters on board the presidential plane, said that the United States has not yet reached an agreement with Denmark about Greenland. Informs about this Gazeta.Pl .

"It has nothing to do with the United States, except that we can ensure freedom. They [Denmark] can't. Two weeks ago they put two dog sleds there, they thought it was protection," the US president said.

After Trump's statements about his desire to buy the island, the Danish government announced a plan to spend the equivalent of $1.5 billion on two patrol ships, two drones and two dog sled patrols. Currently, 75 Danish soldiers are stationed there, they have four ships and an observation aircraft at their disposal.

But Trump insists that this is not about profit for his country, but about "protecting the free world," including from Russia and China. He believes that Denmark's refusal to consent to the annexation of Greenland by the United States would be an "extremely unfriendly action." But official Copenhagen only repeats that Greenland is not for sale, at the same time advocating an increase in the American military presence on the island.
