The Danish foreign minister has summoned the top U.S. diplomat in Copenhagen to explain a media report alleging that American nationals linked to Donald Trump are attempting to infiltrate Greenland and run covert influencing operations there.

Ugh… as an American, I’m now looking less forward to talking with border people in Greenland and Denmark on our way home in a few days after a trip planned 2+ years ago lol. Hopefully some of the many friendly locals will back up all the shit talking that I did about my country’s current state of affairs
My mom recently toured several scandanavian countries, including Denmark. She prefaced more than one conversation with, “Yes, I’m an American. And I have exactly zero interest in invading Greenland.” She said it got some laughs and everyone was friendly. I think most people understand that not all Americans are fucking morons.
I’ve heard people suggest, for years, that Americans abroad identify themselves as Canadians in areas that the US has actively fucked over… I think that advice would be even more useful these days
My American friends pretend to be Canadian on all their trips. Sad, but smart.
Idk what the OG comment was but I’m American and live in Denmark and absolutely no one has even accused me of being trumpy or even been negative that I’m American. More so its “oh so sorry your country is a shit show and wow how terrible for your friends and family still there”
People are pretty well educated here and understand that half of Americans fucking hate what’s going on
Yeah, I’ve had the same experience. I did a test run in Canada in May and had the same experience 😄
I’m pretty sure that most people know that only the kind of people who haven’t seen much more than their home state in the US agree with Trump, you’ll be fine :-)
Yeah, fortunately there are a lot more free thinkers outside of my country. Everyone in both countries has been extremely friendly and hospitable.
