Denmark describes his comments as "completely unacceptable" and summons the US ambassador in a new eruption of tensions over the future of the vast Danish island.
It certainly could be. But it could also be basic appeasement that confirms to the aggressor they are dealing with someone weak who you can take even more from.

Denmark is not a young person in their first relationship. Furthermore they most likely have consulted the other Europeans. Those things are conscious decisions.

They must be cooperating behind the scene and this is just a show for the public.
Here’s some bad writing that surely could never happen
