COPENHAGEN - Danish leaders expressed shock and disbelief on Wednesday over U.S. President Donald Trump's cancellation of a state visit to Denmark after its prime minister rebuffed his interest in purchasing Greenland.
"Total chaos with @realDonaldTrump and cancellation of state visit to Denmark. It has gone from a big opportunity for strengthened dialogue between allies to a diplomatic crisis," former foreign minister Kristian Jensen, a member of the opposition Liberal Party, said on Twitter. She said earlier this week Greenland was"not for sale" and she hoped Trump's proposal was"not meant seriously"." is very, very shocking, when it is about a very close ally and a good friend," Soren Espersen, the foreign affairs spokesman for the hard right Danish People's Party, told Danish news agency Ritzau.
Trump, whose"America First" policies have resulted in strained relations with the EU over trade and other issues, said on Sunday that a U.S. purchase of Greenland would be"a large real estate deal." Greenland, which is gaining attention from world powers including China, Russia and the United States due to its strategic location and mineral wealth, is self-governing but underdeveloped and relies on Denmark for economic support.

Toys out off the pram moment.
You misspelled 'relief' there. Meanwhile, other leaders scramble to figure out how to avoid his visits.
If only Denmark was a right wing authoritarian dictatorship, Trump would ❤️ them!
