Hump Day Hot Takes in Denmark 🇩🇰🇬🇱🇬* Gimme Shelter, AmericaUh oh, Donald Trump's latest pet project has Greenlanders shivering in their boots. A recent poll revealed that a whopping 85 percent of Greenland's population ain't feeling the love for becoming a part of the USA. Only 6 Greenlanders' leg hairs stand on end at the thought, while 9 percent are undecided. The survey, conducted by Danish publication Berlingske and Greenlandic newspaper Sermitsiaq, asked Greenlanders if they want independence and join the United States. It seems the Greenlanders are diggin' their toes deeper into Denmark's soil. Awkward!
- No Peace, No LovePrime Minister Mette Frederiksen fired back at Trump's claims that Greenland could be up for grabs, saying there's no military threat on either Greenland or Denmark's horizon. Doesn't sound like Mette is keeling over anytime soon!
- Power to the PeopleMother Nature slammed Ireland with Storm Eowyn last week, leaving a messy trail of uprooted trees, flooded streets, and power outages. The EU came to the rescue by sending 13 generators from Poland and four from Denmark to help get the lights back on. Y'all are stronger together, eh?
- Fish or Cut BaitTensions are rising in the North Sea as the EU and Britain's bickering over fishing rights comes to a head. Brussels is backing Denmark in their dispute over sandeels, and the two nations put forth their arguments at The Hague's Permanent Court of Arbitration. explosive?
