Even though Donald Trump was celebrated by every American for becoming the President again, now it seems that he was not really a very good choice. This is mainly because Donald Trump has been under fiery criticism due to his policies and decisions which are very controversial. Some of these include increasing taxes and tariffs on international trade and not letting anyone of foreign origin to hold on to their American citizenship.
However, the President is now under a negative light again after his recent conversation with the Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen. The conversation was said to be almost like an online argument and Trump’s demands have been criticized as something which no good President should make from any country. So let us see what Donald Trump asked the Danish PM which is suddenly ruining his reputation.
What Did Donald Trump Say to the Danish PM?
Last week, Donald Trump had a rather long conversation on his phone with Denmark Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen. Although the conversation was civil at first, it soon turned wrong after Mr. Trump started shouting at the Danish Prime Minister.
According to most major sources, the American President had apparently asked the Danish Prime Minister to let the USA take over Greenland. However, the Danish Prime Minister immediately rejected this proposal. She said that the USA has no right to claim a large portion of the country as their own.
The Prime Minister also said that Donald Trump’s behavior upon hearing the rejection was no less than that of a street thug. She and her sources stated that Mr. Trump was very unprofessional during his entire conversation with her. This included doing things such as giving threats about military invasion and occupation upon Denmark and also increasing tariff rates as well.
The Prime Minister repeatedly kept denying his request only for the latter to get angry and shout even more. As per her sources, Donald Trump is actually very serious and firm regarding his decision to take over Greenland. She also said that Denmark might have to prepare for a conflict against the USA if the American President actually decides to put his decision into action.
What Does Donald Trump’s Behavior Indicate Regarding the USA’s Future?
After hearing about Donald Trump’s threat to Mette Frederiksen, Denmark’s citizens have now become very fearful. They are now fearing due to the chances of a potential war with the USA which might end up to be something like the Russia-Ukraine war. However, despite having fears, most citizens of this country are saying that they are ready to go to battle to protect their motherland if a war really happens.
The Denmark government is also preparing its troops to face a potential war that may or may not be declared by the USA. However, the nation’s Prime Minister still wants to avoid a war by negotiating with the US in some way. She wants to avoid the war because apparently Donald Trump thinks that occupying Greenland can help the USA preserve security and peace worldwide.
The Danish PM says that Denmark is always ready to help the USA in case the country or any of its allies faces danger. However, she also stated that she cannot let the country take over Greenland.
The American President claims that he wants to take Greenland and make it a part of the USA in order to prevent China or Russia from doing the same. Since Greenland falls in a region between Europe and the USA, taking over this land will help the USA to expand its territories and enhance its military strength in the process.
However, many of Donald Trump’s critics are saying that his claims are nothing but bogus. These critics including Donald Trump’s opposers such as the Democrats are saying that the American President wants Greenland only for its natural resources. It is a fact that Mr. Trump promised to drill oil and other possible natural resources from this place. This can be a major reason as to why the President wants to take away this land from Denmark by force. The President wants to take over this land by using military power, if needed, since Denmark has always been against drilling oil in this place.
The Danish government, as a whole, wants to support renewable and eco-friendly energy resources. Because of this, the nation’s government has always rejected pleas from domestic or international companies to drill oil from this place. However, Donald Trump says that climate change and pollution are nothing but hoaxes. He says that the US needs to drill oil from Greenland before any other nation can do this in order to hold on to its position as a superpower. In fact, it is quite possible that the President actually wants to occupy Greenland for this purpose only.
All of Donald Trump’s opposers and even members of his own party are saying that his ambitions and statements are ridiculous. They are also saying that if Mr. Trump does enact his decisions then the USA will lose ties with other countries like Denmark and every other European nation as well. Many people are also saying that Trump’s mentality seems to be almost like that of Russian President Vladimir Putin who wants to take over Ukraine. However, unlike Putin, Trump’s decisions are reckless and immature and will lead the nation to disaster only.
A Final Word
The argument between Donald Trump and Denmark’s PM shows that the American government has hitten a wholly new level. A heated argument over a very questionable demand shows that Donald Trump’s attitude towards international levels is not just unprofessional but also very questionable and unethical as well.
The whole world including Danish citizens are saying that if the US does attack Denmark then other nations might join both sides which will lead to a literal third world war. However, Mr. Trump has not put his decision in action yet. This makes it uncertain as to what might happen in future between the USA and Denmark.
