Politician tells Donald Trump to ‘f**ok off’ in blistering Greenland response

Danish MEP Anders Vistisen, stood up in the European Parliament today and made his views on the Greenland crisis extremely clear

A member of the European Parliament told Donald Trump to “f**k off” in a blistering speech opposing his plan to annex Greenland.

Danish MEP Anders Vistisen, stood up in the European Parliament today and made himself extremely clear. He began his speech by saying: “Let me put this in words you might understand: Mr President…f*** off.” He was almost immediately interrupted by the chair and told that his language was not Parliamentary, and was against the rules. It’s not the first time Mr Vistisen has used this particular form of profanity in relation to Donald Trump. He first used it in a speech a year ago, when Trump first seriously floated the idea of the US annexing Greenland.

The broadside came after a top Trump ally told UK MPs he was visiting London to ‘calm the waters’ in the dispute. But during a speech in Parliament, Republican Mike Johnson warned: “A strong America is good for the entire world.” And Trump’s threats of new tariffs over Greenland were branded “a mistake especially between long-standing allies,” by top EU official Ursula Von Der Leyen.

Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, she called into question Trump’s trustworthiness after he agreed last year not to impose more tariffs on EU countries.

“The European Union and the United States have agreed to a trade deal last July,” Von der Leyen said at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. “And in politics as in business – a deal is a deal. And when friends shake hands, it must mean something.” She vowed that the EU’s response “will be unflinching, united and proportional.”

Trump has insisted the US needs to own and control the territory to deter possible threats from China and Russia. He will speak in Davos on Wednesday and said on social media that he had agreed to “a meeting of the various parties” there. Earlier Tuesday, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said America’s relations with Europe “have never been closer” and urged trading partners to “take a deep breath.” But Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, speaking in the Danish parliament, said that “the worst may still be ahead of us.” She said that “we have never sought conflict. We have consistently sought cooperation.”
