Such is the outrage in Denmark over both Trump’s desire for Greenland and disparaging remarks about NATO that one of the country’s leading newspapers devoted their Saturday front and plenty of room inside to the bios of all 44 Danes slain during NATO missions in support of the US

Trump's tariffs are TERRIBLE! Just ask @SecRubio, @SenTedCruz, @SenJoniErnst, @LindseyGrahamSC, @SenatorLankford, @ChuckGrassley, @LeaderJohnThune, @SenRonJohnson, @SenJohnBarrasso, and @JerryMoran.

After 9/11, NATO's Article 5 was invoked for the first (and only) time ever by the United States.
Troops from the UK, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Denmark, Australia, Spain, Poland, Norway, Romania, Turkey, New Zealand, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Ukraine, Finland, and many others joined the fight in Afghanistan.
More than one thousand of these soldiers paid the ultimate price.
JD Vance - Have you said 'thank you' once for their sacrifice?

With all due respect, my very good friend @LindseyGrahamSC - but for the record: we have always been with you when we have decided together to defend freedom. For instance, when the US was attacked 9/11, Denmark sent 1000 troops - for several years - to Helmand. Tragically, we lost more soldiers than any other country pr capita. We obviously can’t let Putin succeed with his brutal invasion of Ukraine.
To the hand-wringing Europeans who felt offended by President Trump rejecting being lectured by President Zelensky: Be my guest to defend Ukraine from Putin.
It is long past time for the Europeans to show they are capable of defending their own continent.
They’ve allowed their militaries to be hollowed out and when Europe speaks, no bad guy listens.
I say this with great sadness: The last group of people that I would count on to defend freedom are the Europeans.

Trump and Vance have declared themselves to be on Russia's side in the Russo-Ukraine war. This is a catastrophic mistake for America's national security. And let's be clear: Trump and Vance now personally own that policy. It is not the view of a majority of Americans of either or no political party.

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.
