Mette Frederiksen and Jens-Frederik Nielsen demand respect for borders after US appoints Greenland envoy

The prime ministers of Denmark and Greenland have demanded respect for their borders after Donald Trump appointed a special envoy to the largely self-governing Danish territory, which he has said repeatedly should be under US control.

“We have said it very clearly before. Now we say it again. National borders and the sovereignty of states are rooted in international law … You cannot annex other countries,” Mette Frederiksen and Jens-Frederik Nielsen said in a joint statement.

The two leaders added that “fundamental principles” were at stake. “Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders, and the US should not take over Greenland,” they said. “We expect respect for our common territorial integrity.”

    I disagree. A simple thief would be doing a short stint in a local jail, not prison, and they’d be allowed around other inmates.

    Trump should be in prison. He should be serving a sentence that will span the rest of his life. And he should be in solitary confinement for his own protection, due to the very serious possibility of his being killed in prison. As well as permanent suicide watch, to make sure he carries out as much of his sentence as possible.
