Greenland is An autonomous territory under the kingdom of Denmark. I heard that before asking Greenland he was asking Canada as well. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 36 points 1 year ago* (1 child) Is he trying to neg us by threatening our sovereignty and then asking for a favour??? Most high schoolers know better than to fall for that. Like, get real. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 1 year ago I think that's the point. Bullying/Threatening countries and then "asking" them for help. Then if they don't oblige he uses it to booster support for the bullying and threats. Similar ordeal with cutting aid to Egypt and then asking them to take something like 1.5 million people in from Gaza that Trump doesn't want on their homeland. permalink fedilink source parent [–] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 year ago (2 children) I think you meant "kingdom of Denmark" there, but yeah permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] takeda@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago Fixed, thank you permalink fedilink source parent [–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago We don't recognize monarchies as valid governments here. permalink fedilink source parent
