President Donald Trump has said previously that he is seeking U.S. ownership of Greenland, a Danish territory.

The Danish foreign minister has summoned the top U.S. diplomat in Copenhagen to explain a media report alleging that American nationals linked to Donald Trump are attempting to infiltrate Greenland and run covert influencing operations there.

      My mom recently toured several scandanavian countries, including Denmark. She prefaced more than one conversation with, “Yes, I’m an American. And I have exactly zero interest in invading Greenland.” She said it got some laughs and everyone was friendly. I think most people understand that not all Americans are fucking morons.

        Idk what the OG comment was but I’m American and live in Denmark and absolutely no one has even accused me of being trumpy or even been negative that I’m American. More so its “oh so sorry your country is a shit show and wow how terrible for your friends and family still there”

        People are pretty well educated here and understand that half of Americans fucking hate what’s going on

        I’ve heard people suggest, for years, that Americans abroad identify themselves as Canadians in areas that the US has actively fucked over… I think that advice would be even more useful these days

      I’m pretty sure that most people know that only the kind of people who haven’t seen much more than their home state in the US agree with Trump, you’ll be fine :-)
