Denmark bars U.S. officials from July 4 event over Trump’s Greenland threats

Organizers of Denmark’s annual Fourth of July celebration have uninvited American officials from this year’s event. The move is a direct response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent threats to take control of Greenland, a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark. The celebration, traditionally a large public gathering, will proceed without any official U.S. participation. Protesters at a related demonstration held a banner reading: “Yes to democracy. No to Trumpism.” The decision highlights growing diplomatic tension between Denmark and the United States over the future of Greenland.
