Zelenskyy jokes in Danish parliament about Trump’s desire to acquire Greenland: "He wanted to become little more Danish"
During a speech in the Danish parliament, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy joked about US President Donald Trump’s desire to gain control of Greenland, which enjoys extensive autonomy within Denmark.
The Presidential Office broadcast Zelenskyy’s speech, Censor.NET reports.
"He wanted to become a little more Danish"
According to Zelenskyy, Denmark has been much luckier with its neighbours than Ukraine, which is forced to share a border with Russia.
"You have much better neighbours than we do. After all, we have Russia as a neighbour. And having a neighbour like Denmark is something every country dreams of right now. And perhaps when someone in America wanted Greenland, he did not even realise that what he really wanted was not land, but to become a little more Danish. And who knows, perhaps that was exactly what he needed," the president said.
Background
As a reminder, on 18 September, US President Donald Trump said that the United States had concluded an agreement "of indefinite duration" with Denmark and Greenland, giving Washington permanent control over the island’s security.
