re: I'm generally a fan of what Trump does, but canceling the trip to Denmark

Trump should have kept this on the low so as not embarrass the PM. Should have tactfully raised the subject: I think what we are talking about is Greenland becoming a U.S. protectorate to Russia and China out. Something like 40-50% of Danish GDP is going to Greenland. They might have been open to it if Trump hadn't acted like a bull in a china shop.

I think you got it backwards. The Dutch PM should have never dignified the fake news media by commenting on the subject. Her comments were an attempt to embarrass the president of the USA regardless of whether Trump had any real intentions of buying greenland.

That alone was worthy of getting bumped off the schedule.
