Foreign funding to politics should be banned everywhere!
Every country should do that.
Can see a “little green men” invasion Ukraine style
Not a bad idea. UK should do the same. Also watch very carefully what companies are being registered in-jurisdiction
They love him sooo much that they need to create new laws to keep him out.

That should tell how little they want to be part of the US
Good US should follow suit
Pity, Trump Jr’s Bribed Substance Users Party has been on a rip lately.
Denmark should not give Greenland the resale rights
We should all do that. Right now. Now!!!! Have this option in the first place spells trouble.
Greenland’s very sovereignty is being threatened by Trump. I don’t think there can be any room given for foreign political influence. Greenland is not directly in the EU due to their withdrawal from the EC in 1985, so they only have Denmark to back them up. That’s not tenable for Greenland; there’s just too much at stake.
No one should be able to contribute to politicians in a democracy. Political donations always have a price tag.
Briliant.
There’s a good argument that without the Kremlin, the United States might not be in its current predicament and Brexit never would’ve happened.
He’s literally a parasite.
Good plan, hopefully not too late.
Smart move
We need to go to zero private funding in US
Smart move. After seeing Elon Musk basically buy the White House, I wouldn’t be surprised if he tries to interfere with Greenland’s election too.
how about just getting rid of money in any political electorate enterprise? like having more money than the guy you’re running vs shouldn’t put you at an advantage lmao, you are running on ideals, proposals, and diplomacy, not your wallet size. i hate this world man
It should be standard practice in every country. Anyone who says otherwise has simply benefited from it.
Don’t stop there. Get ALL money out of politics. Create a system where candidates who gain enough signatures are given equal time on public radio/television to say their piece to convince voters, and that’s it. Ban SuperPacs, ban political signs (other than ones with their name and their website).
Every sovereign state should do this.
As an American, do it before it’s too late
Foreign political funding should not ever have been a thing.
This should be universal
And prison any foreign that does stunt like Donald jr did
The US is a prime example of what you get with a lack of campaign finance laws. Good to see the rest of the world learning from our mistakes. God knows we won’t. ‘Merica!
As an American, it always astounds me when governments take decisive action like this. Must be nice to have people in charge who walk the walk instead of just lie to get votes.
90-something Rupert Murdoch leaps to action with 1.7 Billion dollars offer for the first Greenland newspaper or licensed tv station that wants it. btw, he somehow is going to buy himself citizenship to Greenland (see Newt Gingrich for technical details)
Gotta hand it to him – he’s single-handedly created real and potentially positive change in other parts of the world.
