How to Respond

It is noted that Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom have sent a small number of troops on a reconnaissance mission to Greenland, as a sign of solidarity with Denmark, which has been resisting Trump's ambitions to acquire the polar island it has controlled for about 300 years.
