Denmark responded to the U.S. claim and emphasized that there is more than just "dog sleds" on Greenland.

The European leftists who previously supported so-called "human rights," "democracy," and "freedom of speech," and supported color revolutions in Eastern European countries, now face a direct backlash right in their own faces.

Denmark, a country known for its extreme compassion, is said to have supplied all its weapons to Finland during the Soviet-Finnish War. On April 9, 1940, Germany launched Operation Weserübung and invaded Denmark. After resisting for about 4 hours, Denmark declared surrender. Subsequently, the Danish Free Corps was established on June 25, 1941, three days after Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union, and participated in the Eastern Front, including the fierce battle at the Demyansk Pocket in 1942, where they suffered heavy casualties. Denmark became a founding member of NATO in 1949, standing against the Soviet Union, with both sides forming a military confrontation in the Baltic Sea, and Denmark's mainland becoming a frontline base for NATO monitoring Soviet maritime activities.

When U.S. President Donald Trump directly expressed his view: Greenland should become part of the United States because the island is geographically located in the Western Hemisphere, which is the core interest area of the United States. The Greenland authorities have requested an emergency meeting with Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The delegation members include Greenland's Minister of Foreign Affairs and Research, Vivian Motzfeldt, as well as Danish representatives, including Danish Foreign Minister Rasmus Rasmussen. The Greenland Foreign Minister stated that the purpose of this negotiation is to discuss the U.S. claim regarding Greenland Island.

Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen also commented on the current situation, pointing out that a large amount of money has been used to improve the security level of the region, rather than "buying another set of dog sleds" as Trump said. The meaning is that Denmark has the ability to defend Greenland.

Due to the historically inhumane policies that Denmark once implemented towards Greenland residents, the Greenland people have struggled for years to gain autonomy. It is rumored that the Trump administration plans to provide each resident of Greenland with a substantial cash subsidy in exchange for their support for the island to break away from Denmark and join the United States. Such actions have sparked discussions: can this be considered interference in internal affairs?
