Danish MP follows profane message to Trump with warning to Greenlanders on US civil rights
Raw StoryPresident Donald Trump's desire to acquire Greenland from Denmark isn't going over well with some Danes, including one of Denmark's politicians who used vulgarity to express his opposition earlier this week, and is now citing a century-long historical record to issue a warning to Greenlanders on America's refusal to grant full voting rights to its citizens in U.S. territories. Anders Vistisen, a Danish Member of the European Parliament, reminded Trump earlier this week that "Greenland has been part of the Danish Kingdom for 800 years," and "is not for sale." Addressing what he called the "argument that America can make a great deal," an apparent reference to Donald Trump, Vistisen said, "we actually have some historical precedence for this. "So I think if the Greenlandic people are looking carefully at this and they are looking on the U.S. overseas territories," Vistisen continued, "looking at how Indigenous people are treated in the U.S., it's very hard to make a compelling argument that they will have a better deal from the United States than what they have within the Danish realm, the kingdom of Denmark, where they have full voting rights in the Danish parliament are actually are overrepresented, and as you clearly stated, they have a very beneficial agreement, economically with Denmark."
