If Greenland isn’t for sale, President Trump doesn’t want to talk to Denmark.

Mr. Trump said Tuesday evening on Twitter that he would delay a scheduled visit to Denmark next month because of the prime minister’s lack of interest in selling the autonomous Danish possession.

“Denmark is a very special country with incredible people, but based on Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen’s comments, that she would have no interest in discussing the purchase of Greenland, I will be postponing our meeting scheduled in two weeks for another time,” he wrote.

Mr. Trump then offered a compliment to the Danish leader for her blunt refusal.

“The Prime Minister was able to save a great deal of expense and effort for both the United States and Denmark by being so direct.

On Sunday, Mr. Trump characterized the potential sale of Greenland as a “large real estate deal,” though downplayed its relevance to his stop in Denmark. »

Either way, accusing Jews of failing to show fidelity to the proper country carries an obviously terrible history.

Trump accusing several million people of disloyalty is unlikely to do much for his party’s long-shot attempt to wrest back some of the Jewish vote. »

The Republican-controlled Texas House of Representatives voted 140-3 to pass the bill's final version on May 22.

The measure's proponents did not intend it to affect existing state laws prohibiting the sale or possession of marijuana.
