The Danish government has said Mark Rutte cannot negotiate on behalf of Denmark or Greenland over the future of the Arctic island, as the broad outlines of a deal apparently struck by the Nato secretary general and Donald Trump began to emerge.
The US president said after meeting Rutte on Wednesday the “framework of a future deal” had been found to settle the transatlantic dispute over Greenland following weeks of escalating tensions that risked the biggest breakdown in relations in decades.
Speaking on Thursday, Denmark’s prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, welcomed the progress that had been made but said the situation was still “difficult and serious”.
Pointedly, she added: “It is only Denmark and Greenland themselves that can make decisions” on issues concerning them. “We can negotiate all political aspects – security, investment, the economy – but we cannot negotiate our sovereignty.”

Rutte putting his foot in it, again?
Lips and tongue. Yes, he’s putting them in. Into Trump’s ass. As always. Even Stubb (Finnish president, might misspell his name) stopped being… well… you know.
If he got Greenland enough time, until the US invades Iran, then it would be fine. Btw Iran war is coming soo. Trump is already moving military assets for it.
Knowing full well that there’s a non-zero chance that thousands of service members might get a janky-ass nuke dropped on them.
Or until that idiot drops dead. Can’t be too early.
I can not comprehend how anyone could let that fat orange imbecile give orders on how to use a fucking dishwasher, let alone a military. Jesus Christ on a bike.
Rutte is a rotten little far-right clown. He couldn’t negotiate a phone plan.
Maybe, but I feel he’s like Churchill.
He sucked badly as a politician, selfish little prick that used “I cannot remember that I fucked over those people” waaayy too many times, but I also feel he’s the right guy for the right place for the right time
Time will tell.
The guy who called Trump “Daddy” is the right guy?

Jfc. I missed that one. Mind you so much shit has happened and is happening I dunno who could keep track of it all.
Churchill wasn’t the right guy for anyone outside of Europe and not even for Europe if you were a welsh coal miner, a Greek antifascist, Irish and I could keep going.
More like Chamberlain tbh
Hmmm. Wonder if Mark Rutte reminded Trump of the US military bases across the EU that would be imperiled if NATO fell apart.
Trump has a habit of claiming policies that have been long held are now his own, so I can see his coming to a decision to let things lay as they have been, and just bullshit his feebleminded followers that some “deal” has been struck.
Would certainly fit his MO.
Greenland could have avoided all this mess if they renamed Greenland to Epstein island.
That’s just the previous island they sold to the USA.
