A Danish MEP has sent a blunt message to Donald Trump over his plans to take Greenland during a debate in the European Parliament. The controversial remark comes as the US President has been pressurizing over acquiring Greeland, which, at the moment, is a part of Kingdom of Denmark
Speaking at the summit, Danish MEP Anders Vistisen said: "Dear president Trump. Listen very carefully. Greenland have been part of the Danish kingdom for 800 years. It's an integrated part of our country. It is not for sale. Let me put it in words you might understand, Mr. Trump, f*** off."

He was immediately interrupted by one of the officials at the summit saying: " 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. It is not okay in this house of democracy. Thank you, regardless of what we think of Mr. Trump, it is not possible to use such language."
