A Danish Member of European Parliament (MEP) seethed at U.S. President Donald Trump<\/a> amid his bid to have Greenland sold or ceded to the United States.<\/p>\n

MEP Anders Vistisen, a member of the right-wing Danish People\u2019s Party, addressed Trump\u2019s efforts at an EU session in Strasburg, France.<\/p>\n

“Dear President Trump,\u00a0listen very carefully: Greenland has been<\/a> part of the Danish kingdom for 800 years. It is an integrated part of our country. It is not for sale,” Vistisen said.<\/p>\n

Appearing to cue into the American president\u2019s occasional salty language, Vistisen said he would put his remarks in “words you might understand.”<\/p>\n

“Mr. Trump, f— off,” said Vistisen<\/a>. The remark drew a formal reprimand from European Parliament Vice President Nicolae \u0218tef\u0103nu\u021b\u0103, who, however, suggested he too has reservations about Trump.<\/p>\n

“If the translation was correct, the term you used is not allowed in this House, and there will be consequences to the message you have used,” said \u0218tef\u0103nu\u021b\u0103, who represents Romania.<\/p>\n

“It is not OK in this House of Democracy. Regardless of what we think of Mr. Trump, it is not possible to use such language.”<\/p>\n

First son Donald Trump Jr. led a small delegation to Nuuk \u2014 the Greenlandic capital \u2014 prior to the inauguration and met with members of the public and reportedly held a luncheon.<\/p>\n

Both Greenlandic Prime Minister Mute Egede and Danish PM Mette Frederiksen have said the landmass is not for sale.<\/p>\n

The island enjoys relative autonomy in domestic affairs and relies on Copenhagen for foreign policy and support.<\/p>\n

The U.S. does, however, retain a U.S. Space Force presence on Greenland \u2014 at Pituffik (formerly Thule) Air Base near Savissivik.<\/p>\n

Just over 100 years ago, the U.S. did successfully purchase Danish lands from Copenhagen.<\/p>\n

King Christian X of Denmark and the U.S. Senate both ratified a 1916 treaty that led to the purchase of what are now the United States Virgin Islands (USVI) \u2014 St. Thomas, St. John and St. Croix. Then-President Woodrow Wilson, a Democrat, approved the treaty.<\/p>\n

Wilson’s Secretary of State Frank Polk said the island chain’s people would have American nationality but not the “political status of citizens,” according to the State Department\u2019s archives.<\/p>\n
