A Danish member of the European Parliament (MEP) became angry with the president of the United States donald trump in the midst of his attempt to sell or cede Greenland to the United States.
MEP Anders Vistisen, a member of the right-wing Danish People’s Party, addressed Trump’s efforts at an EU session in Strasbourg, France.
“Dear President Trump, listen very carefully: Greenland has been part of the Danish kingdom for 800 years. It is an integrated part of our country. “It’s not for sale,” Vistisen said.
Appearing to follow the US president’s occasional spicy language, Vistisen said he would phrase his comments in “words you could understand.”

“Mr. Trump, sh*t” Vistisen said.. The comment prompted a formal rebuke from European Parliament Vice President Nicolae Ștefănuță, who nevertheless suggested that he too has reservations about Trump.
“If the translation was correct, the term he used is not allowed in this House and the message he used will have consequences,” said Romania’s representative Ștefănuță.
