Trump on Greenland's fury over visit: 'This is friendliness, not provocation'

President Trump on Monday defended the decision to send a U.S. delegation to Greenland, saying officials from the Danish territory invited them, after Greenland Prime Minister Múte Bourup Egede called the visit “very aggressive.”

Trump said the visit is “not provocation” when asked by a reporter to further explain the goal of sending second lady Usha Vance and other U.S. officials there after leadership from Greenland criticized the visit.

“This is friendliness, not provocation. We’re dealing with a lot of people from Greenland that would like to see something happen with respect to their being properly protected and properly taken care of. They’re calling us. We’re not calling them. And we were invited over there, and I thought it would be great,” the president said during a Cabinet meeting.

The president said that the second lady “loves the concept of Greenland,” calling her “brilliant,” and added that Secretary of State Marco Rubio will also be visiting the Danish territory.

Sounds like the mindset of a sex offender. "Come on Greenland. You know that you want it."

Friendliness (and diplomacy) requires that you wait for an invitation to arrive through correct diplomatic channels. You're 'delegation' is lucky that the Greenlanders didn't churn them up for chum and use tham as bait.

He was seen with his hands on her rump/waist, was it the Inaugural? when Vance had to be civil--unless he sees it as an opportunity...
