‘No thanks’: Greenland, Denmark reject Trump’s hospital ship offer

Copenhagen –

Denmark and its territory Greenland on Sunday rejected Donald Trump’s offer to send a naval hospital ship to the Arctic island coveted by the U.S. leader.

A day earlier, Trump said he was sending “a great hospital boat to Greenland to take care of the many people who are sick, and not being taken care of there.”

But Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen, who heads the autonomous territory’s government, wrote on his Facebook page: “That will be ‘no thanks’ from us.”
