The US president could benefit from becoming “more Danish,” according to the former comic actor
Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky has mocked US President Donald Trump’s ambitions to acquire Greenland, suggesting that the American leader would benefit from becoming “more Danish.”
Zelensky made the comments in an address to the Danish parliament on Wednesday, attended by a key backer, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.
Describing Denmark as a country “we can always count on,” Zelensky said he wished Ukraine had such a neighbor before taking a swipe at Trump’s longstanding interest in acquiring Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory.
“When someone in the United States wanted to have Greenland, they were not even aware that what they really wanted was not the land but to become a little bit more Danish,” Zelensky said, without mentioning Trump by name.
“And who knows, maybe that was exactly what they needed,” he added.

Trump has repeatedly floated the idea of acquiring Greenland since returning to the White House last year, even threatening to annex the territory by force if necessary. He has argued that the Arctic island is vital to US national security and that its vast rare-earth mineral deposits could provide Washington with access to strategically important resources.
