Summary
Germany and France criticized U.S. President-elect Donald Trump after he refused to rule out military or economic actions to acquire Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory and part of the EU and NATO.
Germany stressed borders must not be changed by force, citing the UN Charter, while France warned against threats to EU sovereignty.
Trump defended his position on national security grounds, proposing tariffs on Denmark if it resists.
Denmark and Greenland rejected the idea, with Greenland’s leader reiterating its desire for independence, not U.S. annexation.

I’m sick and tired of reading this kind of empty, pointless “news”. STOP ENTERTAINING HIS BULLSHIT. It doesn’t warrant public debate. Let him know via diplomatic channels it’s not gonna happen but don’t let him hog the public’s attention.
Same with other clowns in the public eye. Don’t give them the attention. Point out what’s really happening and what people can do about it instead.
You’re helping them turn politics into high school drama. Gah. We really are getting stupider as a species.
