President Donald Trump said the US is sending a hospital ship to Greenland. Denmark responded that Greenlanders are not in need of additional medical assistance.
“Working with the fantastic Governor of Louisiana, Jeff Landry, we are going to send a great hospital boat to Greenland to take care of the many people who are sick, and not being taken care of there,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Saturday.
On Sunday, Denmark explained its colony was not in need of additional medical care support. “The Greenlandic population receives the healthcare it needs.” Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen continued, “They receive it either in Greenland, or, if they require specialised treatment, they receive it in Denmark. So it’s not as if there’s a need for a special healthcare initiative in Greenland.”
Does anyone else find this story as funny as I do?
Sounds to me like the US needs a medical facility in Greenland for its ships and naval vessels that accidentally need medical care when in the adjacent area for no particular reason...
That might be the real reason, but the fake reason is pretty funny.
