Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen is turning down an offer from President Trump, who has openly sought to acquire the island from Denmark, to send a Navy hospital ship to his country.
“It’s going to be a no thank you from here,” Nielsen wrote on Facebook. “President Trump’s idea to send an American hospital ship here to Greenland is noted. But we have a public health system where treatment is free for citizens. It’s a deliberate choice. And a basic part of our society. It’s not like that in the United States, where it costs money to go to the doctor.”
“We are always open to dialogue and collaboration. Also with the U.S. But talk to us now instead of just coming up with more or less random outbursts on social media. Dialogue and cooperation require respest that decisions about our country are made at home.”
On Saturday night, Trump posted a photo to his Truth Social platform of the USNS Mercy, a 1,000-bed hospital vessel commissioned in 1986. While the Mercy is typically docked on Naval Base San Diego, Calif., it has been in Mobile, Ala., since August, according to Marine Traffic.
“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,” the president wrote. “It’s on the way!!!”
Landry, who addition to his duties as Louisiana governor is serving as Trump’s envoy to Greenland, criticized Nielsen for turning down the offer Sunday. The Navy referred The Hill to the Pentagon regarding whether the Mercy will still head to Greenland.
“Shame on Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen! President @realDonaldTrump and America care,” Landry wrote on social platform X.

It’s your funeral.
Good! My wife and I pay thru the nose for our health insurance and we are in perfect health so this whole thing had me pissed as it should most hard working self employed Americans.
Trump will do it anyway and screw this guy.
It’s really a troopship, and it’s still coming.
Why would Trump offer them something they don’t need?
“””But we have a public health system where treatment is free for citizens. It’s a deliberate choice. And a basic part of our society. It’s not like that in the United States, where it costs money to go to the doctor.””””
It’s “FREE”.
Sounds like the Greenlanders are as dumb as the Finlanders.
Trump has accomplished much on Greenland, so he needs to move on and start focusing on the mid-term elections and getting his bills through Congress.
You get what you pay for.
I’ll have to substitute “dumb Greenlander” for “dumb Finlander”, which replaced “dumb Pollack” years ago.
Hear about the two Greenlanders that went ice fishing?
They caught 300 pounds of ice.
Hear about the horrible accident afterwards?
They drowned while cooking it up.
He doesn’t sound too bright. Maybe brain damage is a Thing in Greenland.
“””He doesn’t sound too bright. Maybe brain damage is a Thing in Greenland.”””
Probably a side effect of inbreeding.
Goodness gracious. What is that guy’s SAT score? Must be right around the Navin Newsom Line.
But Poland refused entrance for the “migrants”. Maybe they aren’t so dumb?
All these leftist countries are obnoxious and their leaders stay in power by fighting with Trump.
It’s THEIR behavior that weakens any alliance.
Canada and Europe are becoming a real security problem.
Bet Greenlanders would go miles to see the ship...Denmark is stuck on stupid...Maybe they should look at a Map...
