Jesse Watters chides European leaders for refusing to give Greenland to ‘daddy’ Trump

Jesse Watters criticized European leaders for rejecting U.S. efforts to annex Greenland amid Arctic security concerns and troop deployments, with only 6% of Greenlanders favoring U.S. control.

  • Fox News host Jesse Watters scolded Europeans for refusing to give Greenland, Danish territory, to President Donald Trump, citing last year when NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte called Trump `daddy`, Watters said.
  • On Monday, Rep. Randy Fine introduced a bill to authorize annexing Greenland; last week, Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum said Europeans `should be cheering` the move.
  • Several European nations announced they would send troops to Greenland this week, including Germany, France, Sweden and Norway, while Jesse Watters mocked their efforts, saying, `You have the Germans and the French` and `What do they have, one aircraft carrier?`.
  • The Trump administration's repeated threats to take Greenland by force have increased tensions between the United States and Europe, with the Danish foreign minister warning NATO cohesion would be at risk.
  • Co-Host Jessica Tarlov pushed back, saying `Because sometimes daddy needs to be told no,` and asserting `I’m on the side of America and also Greenland`, while Dana noted `That’s just the facts on the table` and warned Vladimir Putin would benefit.
