In a recent speech at the European Parliament, Danish politician Anders Vistisen directed a profane remark at President Donald Trump, telling him to “f**k off.” Vistisen’s outburst was in response to Trump’s repeated calls for the United States to purchase Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark. Vistisen emphasized that Greenland has been part of Denmark for 800 years and is not for sale.
His use of profanity caused a stir in the parliament, leading to a reprimand for his language. Despite the controversy, Vistisen stood by his statement, arguing that it was a defense of national sovereignty.
Trump, on the other hand, reiterated his belief that acquiring Greenland is important for international security and suggested that Denmark would eventually agree to the sale. This exchange highlights the tension between the US and Denmark over Greenland and raises questions about the appropriateness of such language in political discourse.
