Nobody in Denmark is happy about Trump's latest whining about Greenland, but Washington's rhetoric rings a good deal more hollow this time than it did when we deployed regular forces to Greenland to resist a potential invasion last time (they are still there, and now well entrenched.)

1/ With Trump once more looking to Greenland to manipulate the markets for the benefit of his cronies plays on prediction markets and to distract from his being Epstein's closest associate, I'm happy that the Danish troops sent months ago have remained there to entrench and prepare the whole time.

For the moment the election results are looking like the centrist government in Denmark will continue in some form with added supporters. Not my first choice (I'd prefer a move to the left) but Denmark in a safe set of hands until Trump is out is more important than my preference.

I was going to translate this from the Danish news article earlier but Chris has done the job already. Our government is admirably committed to Denmark not going through another 9th of April (1940) - Greenland may ultimately be forcibly occupied, but the US military would have to bleed for it first.

Lindsey Graham, on behalf of Trump, lecturing Europe about arrogance and fickle allies is a joke so exquisite that he could never have come up with it intentionally. Denmark will be keeping its troops on Greenland, wouldn't want all those Russian and Chinese subs to get on shore.

So to sum up the opinions of the Danish government: The PM and FM have said that the Iranian government a repressive state and an enemy, but that Denmark was not notified of nor took part in the US/Israeli attack on Iran. DK govt supports de-escalation.

The Danish government has called for legislative elections on the 24th of March, and I think this is a good decision with the US military so heavily committed to their buildup near Iran. Preparations have already been made for US sabre-rattling during the election campaign.

1) So given what I've seen around the English language press about Europeans getting complacent, I think it's worth highlighting todays headlines in the Danish news, at least on Danmark's Radio. First there's the cringe, it drew headlines that Trump shared his V-day card featuring Greenland.

From a European perspective it's especially strange that Trump be the man whom Republicans want to make dictator given how old, frail, and in poor health he is. There are no autopens in the grave, and regime successors are never in as strong a position, and they burned their chance for this clown?

A fresh poll on Danish attitudes towards the USA has been published today, of those polled 17% view the US as an ally, 20% don't know, 3% didn't answer, and 60% view it as an adversary. Notably this new and hostile perception is not concentrated in any specific groups but is general. #greenland
A pie chart showing a blue, red, yellow and green section. Translated the title label reads in Danish "As things are today, would you describe the USA as an ally or an adversary?" On the pie chart the 17% who answered 'allied' is coloured in red, the 60% who answered 'adversary' are coloured in blue, the 20% who wrote 'do not know' are coloured in yellow and the 3% who replied 'Do not wish to answer' are coloured in green. Below the pie chart is the information about the ways in which the poll was conducted: "1053 completed interviews with representatively selected Danes aged 18 or above. The poll was carried out by Epinion as a web based panel investigation in the period 21. January - 28 January 2026.

This morning the Minneapolis crisis and murder of Alex Pretti is the top news item on Danmark's Radio's front page, the coverage is unreservedly favouring the victim. If Trump was banking on Greenland and his NATO veteran's comments to make us disinterested in the US, he failed in this too.

If he sticks with this then the negotiating strategy of the Danish government has succeeded - Force him to explain what he needs in Greenland to protect it - and make sure that putting it there is multilateral and doesn't include a transfer or sale of Greenland. Will he stick with it? We doubt it.

Of course nobody in Denmark or Greenland genuinely thinks that Trump's change of mind is any assurance that he won't just change it again, he reserves his dwindling supply of honesty for Putin's red telephone and for the convicted sex trafficker who was married to Epstein.

Today Trump says at Davos that the military threat is off the table so long as immediate negotiations for the US to acquire Greenland are started. Foreign Minister Løkke says: "We will not negotiate over selling Greenland." Nothing has changed: It is not for sale.

It's a good thing the European negotiating position on Greenland is "No, we back Denmark and Greenland." The Anglo-French negotiating position in 1938 was "The Sudetenland is ethnically German, we recognise it as German territory already, and demand our ally cede it at once and without compensation"

I'm surprised that it took this long, but the US government is suddenly showing an interest in what is known in Denmark as the "Spiral case" - There was a policy to sterilize some inuit women in Greenland, most of this playing out in the 1960s-70s but some cases happening as late as the early 90s.

I've seen the complaint that the EU supports Denmark but not the people of Greenland, and I can only assume people don't research these things before complaining about them. I'll quote the relevant part from the link: "The EU stands in full solidarity with Denmark and the people of Greenland."

Apparently the governor of Louisiana's game plan for netting #Greenland for Trump is: Bring cajun food, tell people (who just a year ago voted 100% against Trump's agenda) that they "fit within the Monroe doctrine" and maybe some shit about the Louisiana purchase.

Just as a reminder, last year #Greenland held elections, and not a single person was elected who was open to Greenland becoming American, and the lone candidate who said they were willing to believe that Trump was capable of negotiating in good faith got too few votes (1.1%) to get a seat.
