Danish lawmaker Anders Vistisen tells President Donald Trump to « f— off » during European Parliament debate over Greenland acquisition plans, violating parliamentary rules.
A Danish lawmaker told President Donald Trump to « f— off » during a recent heated debate at the European Parliament over the future of Greenland.
Footage shows European Parliament member Anders Vistisen unleashing the rebuke during a session focused on U.S. interest in Greenland and amid Trump’s drive to acquire the Arctic territory, according to reports.
The outburst came as Trump continued to float the idea of bringing Greenland under American control in a bid to bolster what he says is a national and global security necessity.
Addressing the European Union’s legislative body, Vistisen, 38, directly confronted Trump’s long-standing interest.
Vistisen said Greenland was not for sale before escalating his remarks in language that violated parliamentary rules.
