Donald Trump said he would deploy a hospital ship to Greenland, alleging that many people there are sick and not receiving care, even though both of the U.S. Navy’s hospital ships are currently docked at a shipyard in Alabama.
Trump’s announcement prompted a defense on Sunday of Denmark and Greenland’s health care system from their leaders, and it was the latest point of friction with the American leader who has frequently talked about seizing the massive Arctic territory.
“It’s a no thank you from here,” said Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen.
Trump’s social media post about a hospital ship came after Denmark’s military said its arctic command forces on Saturday evacuated a crew member of a U.S. submarine off the coast of Greenland for urgent medical treatment.
Maybe Trump should deploy the hospital ship in the US. They need it more than Greenland.
Your health is bad. Here, use our terrible healthcare system instead.
Denmark should send a hospital ship to Louisiana instead.
Or some of the places where there’s measles outbreaks.
Reminds me of that little shit who brought a long gun to a protest he wasn’t initially going to attend, and then tried to claim he was a medic.
Are those ships even operational?
