Danish lawmaker urges Trump to abandon Greenland acquisition plan.

An MEP from Denmark was furious at President Trump's proposal to sell or cede Greenland to the US.

During an EU session in Strasbourg, France, MEP Anders Vistisen, a member of the Danish People’s Party, spoke about Trump's actions.

Vistisen stated, "President Trump, heed my words: Greenland has been under Danish rule for 800 years and is an integral part of our nation. It is not up for sale."

Vistisen stated that he would express himself in language that the American president might comprehend.

Vistisen told Mr. Trump to "f--- off," which prompted a formal reprimand from European Parliament Vice President Nicolae Ștefănuță, who also expressed his own reservations about Trump.

If the translation was accurate, the term you employed is prohibited in this House, and there will be repercussions for the message you have conveyed, as stated by Ștefănuță, who represents Romania.

"In this House of Democracy, it is not acceptable to use such language, regardless of our opinions about Mr. Trump."

During the inauguration, Donald Trump Jr. led a small group to Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, where he met with the public and reportedly had a luncheon.

Both Greenlandic Prime Minister Mute Egede and Danish PM Mette Frederiksen have stated that the landmass is not up for sale.

Copenhagen provides foreign policy and support to the island, which has relative autonomy in domestic affairs.

Despite not having a permanent presence on Greenland, the U.S. maintains a presence at Pituffik Air Base near Savissivik.

In 1912, the U.S. successfully bought Danish lands from Copenhagen.

The 1916 treaty, which was ratified by King Christian X of Denmark and the U.S. Senate, led to the purchase of the USVI, including St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix. President Woodrow Wilson, a Democrat, approved the treaty.

According to the State Department's archives, Frank Polk, Wilson's Secretary of State, stated that the people of the island chain would have American nationality but not the "political status of citizens."

Through a 1932 act of Congress, residents were later granted full citizenship.

The only U.S. territory where driving on the left side of the road is legal is located in the Danish West Indies and was originally inhabited by British expatriates.
