Denmark "In Crisis Mode" After Terrible Trump Phone Call on Greenland [View all]

Donald Trump has fully freaked out the Danes after a phone call with the country’s prime minister.

“It was a cold shower. Before, it was hard to take it seriously. But I do think it is serious, and potentially very dangerous.”

“The intent was very clear. They want it. The Danes are now in crisis mode,” another official told the publication. “The Danes are utterly freaked out by this.”
