Danish MEP Tells Trump to 'F—k Off' Over Greenland Push, Gets Reprimanded

A Danish member of the European Parliament, Anders Vistisen of the right-wing Danish People's Party, faced reprimand after bluntly telling President Trump to "f—k off" during a Jan. 13 speech addressing Trump's renewed push to acquire Greenland.

"Dear President Trump, listen very carefully. Greenland has been part of the Danish kingdom for 800 years. It is an integrated country. It is not for sale," Vistisen declared. "Let me put this in words you might understand: Mr. President, f—k off."

Parliament Vice President Nicolae Ștefănuță interrupted Vistisen's subsequent remarks in Danish, stating, "If the translation was correct, the term you used is not allowed in this house and there will be consequences to the message you have used. It is not okay in this house of democracy. Regardless of what we think about Mr. Trump, it is not possible to use such language."

The rebuke drew applause.

Trump supporters view his pursuit as essential for U.S. national security, citing Russia's Arctic military buildup and the need for enhanced presence, including space-based defenses.

He has called control "imperative for national and world security" and warned of no retreat.

Critics, including European leaders, condemn the approach as coercive.

On Tuesday, Trump threatened 10 percent tariffs on imports from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Finland starting Feb. 1, escalating to 25% in June unless a deal grants U.S. control.

He linked the measures to recent European troop deployments to Greenland.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, rejected the pressure.

"Nostalgia will not bring back the old order. And playing for time and hoping for things to revert soon will not fix the structural dependencies we have. If this change is permanent, then Europe must change permanently too," she said.

She called the tariffs "a mistake, especially between longstanding allies," noting a July U.S.-EU trade deal, and vowed an "unflinching, united and proportional" response.

The EU eyes a €93 billion retaliatory package and investments in Greenland's infrastructure and security, emphasizing, "It is for sovereign people to decide their own future."

This brazen episode exposes the raw nerve Trump has struck in Europe: a naked power play met with vulgar defiance from a Danish populist and a steely vow of independence from von der Leyen.

The old alliance is cracking under the weight of American unilateralis; Greenland isn't just ice; it's the frozen front line where friends become foes if respect evaporates.

Europe awakens to the brutal truth: dependence is dangerous.
