Trump Confirms Denmark Snub to Greenland Purchase Offer Led Him to Cancel
Trip

Steve Herman

   WHITE HOUSE - U.S. President Donald Trump is acknowledging he canceled
   a trip to Denmark because the country's prime minister made a "nasty"
   remark in reaction to his suggestion the Danes sell Greenland to the
   United States.

   "I thought it was not a nice statement, the way she blew me off. She
   was blowing off the United States," Trump told reporters on Wednesday.
   "She said absurd'-- that's not the right word to use."
