Relations between the United States and Europe are absolutely falling apart and falling apart quick. We are now learning that France is prepared to send troops into Greenland, which is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, in order to protect against a possible invasion by the United States, which is what Donald Trump has threatened. Also, we are learning from the French foreign minister that he spoke with other European Union leaders as well, and other European Union leaders and ministers of defense also talked about deploying their troops into Greenland to make sure they have Denmark's back, which is part of the European Union. So Donald Trump threatening our NATO allies. Our NATO allies now responding to Donald Trump. This follows the Prime Minister of Denmark, Mette Fredriksen, having a meeting with European leaders this week. Here's an article about that. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen says the country has received substantial support from fellow European nations as she seeks support to counter the United States President Donald Trump's threats to take control of Greenland. Frederickson visited three European capitals on Tuesday, meeting French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutt. She says, I want to play this for you right now. This is the French Foreign Minister Jean Noel Barrett. Here he is talking about how if the sovereignty of Denmark and Greenland is threatened, France will step up here.

Note this is in French. So we did an AI voice to translate what he was saying into English for our English viewers. Play this clip.
French Foreign Minister
Greenland since we're talking about Donald Trump, I wanted to mention it. Greenland do you think Donald Trump intends to annex Greenland? Do you believe it? What I think is that the borders of Europe are sovereign and whether we talk about the north of Europe, the south, the east or the west, no one can allow themselves to come joke about borders. And we have said it clearly and we will constantly reaffirm it. Then what is the main issue? The main issue is that the Arctic has become a new field of conflict and that while Russia was seeking China's support in its war of aggression against Ukraine, Russia has also open access routes to the Arctic to its Chinese partner in return. This is what concerns the United States of America today, which is why Denmark announced yesterday it will strengthen its security and military presence in the area by 2 billion euros. In other words, Denmark believes that we too must do more to defend the Arctic against foreign influences or interferences. But that is in no way a reason or excuse to attack the sovereign borders of the European Union.
Political Analyst
Now let me show you Denmark Prime Minister Mette Fredriksen. Here's what she said after meeting with European leaders. She called for, quote, a stronger and more resolute Europe against the United States, which is now threatening to attack the sovereignty of Europe. Let's play it right now.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen
We need to step up in Europe. We need a stronger and a more resolute Europe standing increasingly in its own right, capable of defending and promoting Europe and the European interest.
Political Analyst
Powerful words indeed. Right there.

And so this is so difficult for us, you know, to have someone like Donald Trump doing this here. A bakery in Denmark starts selling bright orange Donald Trump moron cakes right now. Quote, denmark should send a box of these cakes to Trump. So they're selling moron cakes of Donald Trump in Denmark. I think, by the way, that is a brilliant idea. And by the way, I agree with you that he's absolutely a moron. But folks, things are escalating quick. We previously reported again that Denmark had invested another $2 billion into its military capabilities in Greenland. I'll Play this for you right now. Again, preparing for a possible American invasion. I mean, that's where we're at right now. And by the way, I'll show you two clips right now.

Is of this MAGA Republican Congress member who's out there. And this is how they talk right now in the United States. It's crazy for me to see saying that America is an apex predator and we have to conquer others. We need to be predators is what these MAGA Republicans sing. Play the clip.
MAGA Republican Congress Member
You recently introduced a bill. It gives President Trump the congressional authority to acquire Greenland. Tell us more about this.
Political Commentator
Well, you know, for some, that may sound a little bit crazy, but actually the United States has been eyeing Greenland for over 100 years. Strategically, when you look at it, it's are wealthy in resources. And when you see increased activity with Russia and China, the Arctic Circle and the increased activity with the shipping lanes, it's important for the United States to assert itself and say, look, this is our doorstep. This is our area of operation, and we are, quite frankly, the dominant predator cop, if you will. But it's important that we fight back against China and send them back to their own hemisphere.
Political Analyst
Now, let me show you this clip of people in Greenland when Fox showed up. And they were, I guess, surprised that the people of Greenland did not want to be attacked by nations that call themselves apex predators like the United States. Surprise, surprise. Here, play this clip.

The MeidasTouch Podcast Summary Episode: "WOW! France DESTROYS Trump with MILITARY RESPONSE" Release Date: January 29, 2025
In this riveting episode of The MeidasTouch Podcast, the Meiselas brothers—Ben, Brett, and Jordy—delve deep into the escalating geopolitical tensions between the United States and its European allies, particularly focusing on France's decisive stance against President Donald Trump's provocative threats. Combining incisive political analysis with their signature brotherly banter, the episode sheds light on the broader implications for international relations and democracy.
The episode opens with a stark analysis of the rapidly fraying ties between the United States and Europe. The Political Analyst articulates the gravity of the situation:
"Relations between the United States and Europe are absolutely falling apart and falling apart quick. We are now learning that France is prepared to send troops into Greenland..."
(Timestamp: 01:00)
This assertion sets the stage for a comprehensive discussion on President Trump's threats to assert US dominance over Greenland, a strategic territory within the Kingdom of Denmark.
A significant portion of the conversation centers on France's robust response to Trump's aggression. The Political Analyst highlights a pivotal statement from French Foreign Minister Jean Noel Barrett, emphasizing Europe's unwavering commitment to its sovereignty:
"The borders of Europe are sovereign and... we will constantly reaffirm it."
(Timestamp: 02:55)
Further reinforcing this stance, the Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen is quoted urging for a more united and resolute Europe:
"We need a stronger and a more resolute Europe standing increasingly in its own right..."
(Timestamp: 04:45)
These declarations underscore the European Union's determination to protect its territories and oppose unilateral actions by external powers.
Denmark's proactive measures in response to the looming threat are a focal point of the discussion. The Political Analyst details Denmark's substantial investment in military capabilities:
"Denmark announced yesterday it will strengthen its security and military presence in the area by 2 billion euros."
(Timestamp: 03:00)
This investment is aimed at safeguarding the Arctic region from foreign interference, particularly from the US and its adversaries.
The podcast also touches upon Denmark's staunch support for Ukraine, reinforcing the nation's role as a reliable ally to both Europe and Ukraine. A heartfelt endorsement from President Zelensky is shared:
"A thousand days of full-scale war is a very difficult path and we are enduring it because we have friends like Denmark by our side..."
(Timestamp: 06:59)
This endorsement not only highlights Denmark's commitment to international alliances but also casts further shadows on Trump's divisive rhetoric.
A critical segment of the episode addresses the surge of MAGA Republicans in the US Congress advocating for the annexation of Greenland. The Political Analyst vehemently opposes these sentiments, criticizing their imperialistic ambitions:
"We need to be predators is what these MAGA Republicans sing."
(Timestamp: 09:46)
A clip of a MAGA Congress member is analyzed, revealing the extreme viewpoints that are fueling tensions:
"This is our area of operation, and we are, quite frankly, the dominant predator..."
(Timestamp: 10:03)
The hosts express deep concern over the potential for military confrontation stemming from these proposals.
Reflecting on the public's reception in Denmark, the episode presents a culturally resonant response to Trump's antics. The Political Analyst mentions Danish bakeries humorously mocking Trump:
"A bakery in Denmark starts selling bright orange Donald Trump moron cakes..."
(Timestamp: 08:51)
This lighthearted yet pointed reaction underscores the widespread disapproval of Trump's actions and rhetoric among the Danish populace.
Concluding the episode, the Political Analyst reaffirms The MeidasTouch Network's unwavering support for democratic values and international alliances:
"We here at the Midas Touch Network stand in solidarity with you. We do not support the actions of Donald Trump and his threats."
(Timestamp: 06:59)
The brothers emphasize the importance of unity among democratic nations in countering authoritarian tendencies and preserving global stability.
Escalating Tensions: The United States' aggressive stance towards Greenland is straining relations with European allies.
Unified European Response: France and the EU are taking decisive measures to protect their sovereignty and counter US provocations.
Denmark's Defense Investments: Significant financial commitments are being made to bolster military presence in the Arctic.
Strong Allied Support: Denmark's unwavering support for Ukraine highlights its role as a key ally in maintaining regional stability.
Domestic US Politics: The rise of MAGA Republicans advocating for territorial expansion poses risks of international conflict.
Cultural Pushback: Danish society actively resists Trump's aggression through symbolic acts, reflecting widespread disapproval.
