Not sure why the Danish and Greenlandic governments go to the WH to discuss with Vance. This is appearing weak.


Civilised people might consider it to be "appearing reasonable"?


Trump is not long for this world, MAGA might crumble or more probably fall under the control of one of the possible successors in the WH. Establishing diplomatic ties with his wranglers pre heart attack is smart.

As for how this is seen internally for Danes, at least in my part of the world the US admin has already achieved crackhead with a knife status. I suspect that trying the dog whisperer shtick (like Mamdani) will not be seen negatively.


They requested a meeting with Rubio. Only later on Vance said he would crash the party.


Sure but why should they request a meeting? The Americans should go to Copenhagen if they want to discuss something.

You go to the King, the King does not go to you. The party that travels is the weaker one. Maybe that's childish but it is the standard power play even in daily life and business.
