The bastard is still trying to invade Greenland

Greenland PM repeats message to US that the nation is not for sale after Trump envoy talks

Greenland has repeated its message to the United States that the Arctic nation will never be for sale, amid negotiations with a Trump administration official months after the US president threatened to seize the island.

Jeff Landry, governor of the US state of Louisiana, was appointed in December by Mr Trump as special envoy to push for American control of Greenland.

He arrived in the capital Nuuk on Sunday, local time, and met Greenland's Prime Minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, and Foreign Minister Mute Egede a day later.

"We believe there is progress," Mr Nielsen told reporters after the meeting. "From Greenland's side, we are focused on finding a solution that is good for us all and, most importantly, that threats of annexation, takeover or a purchase of Greenland and the Greenlandic people do not occur.

Greenlanders Heckle Trump Envoy, Flip Him Off During Tense Nuuk Tour Over MAGA Hats, Cookies To Kids

"During the visit, Landry told some kids that if they came to his mansion in Louisiana, they could have “all the chocolate chip cookies you can eat."
...
"Besides, it was also reported that Landry’s delegation carried cardboard boxes stuffed with red MAGA hats but few residents wanted them. Interestingly, for the Greenlandic entrepreneurs the red baseball caps mean “Make America Go Away".

Task Master.

"We believe there is progress," Mr Nielsen told reporters after the meeting. "From Greenland's side, we are focused on finding a solution that is good for us all and, most importantly, that threats of annexation, takeover or a purchase of Greenland and the Greenlandic people do not occur.
