Overseas Network, August 25th. Recently, the United States and Denmark have a quarrel over island purchase. Since Denmark had no intention of selling Greenland to the United States, Trump not only postponed his trip to Denmark, but also angrily criticized the Danish Prime Minister as "annoying". However, Trump has "changed his face" a few days ago and has changed his words to praise the Danish Prime Minister as a "great woman".
According to the British " Daily Mail ", US President Trump said on Friday (23rd) that he had spoken with Danish Prime Minister Frazier Rickerson on the phone and described Frazier Rickerson as a "good woman".
Trump said Danish Prime Minister Frazier Rixson called him and the two had a "good conversation". He also said, "There is a very good relationship with Denmark."
Frazier Rickerson's office also said on the 23rd that the leaders of the two countries had a call on the evening of Thursday (22nd).

Recently, the United States has been in a hot spot. According to previous news from the US media, Trump confirmed to the outside world on the 18th that he intends to buy Greenland, the world's largest island. Since then, the United States and Denmark, the island nation, launched a fierce "war of words".
When responding to the island purchase, the Danish Prime Minister bluntly stated that the US's idea was "absurd" and said that Greenland is "not a seller".
Faced with the rejection of the "island buying plan", US President Trump postponed his scheduled visit to Denmark in early September. He also expressed his dissatisfaction in an interview, saying that the Danish Prime Minister was "nasty". The word "nasty" has annoying, dirty, disgusting meanings. The New York Times said this is a word Trump loves to use for women who offend him. Trump has used this term to attack other women many times before, including US House Speaker Pelosi, British Princess Meghan, former presidential rival Hillary Clinton, etc.

Regarding Trump's desire to buy "Greenland", foreign media generally analyzed that it values its military value and resource value. It is understood that Greenland is a territory of Denmark and has autonomy. Most of its internal affairs are decided by the local government, but diplomatic and security policies are managed by the Danish government. The United States has set its sights on Greenland, which can be traced back to the 19th century. In 1867, the U.S. State Department launched an investigation into the purchase of Greenland and Iceland . During World War II, then-US President Truman pursued geopolitical interests and proposed to purchase Greenland for $100 million in 1946, but was rejected by the Danish government.
