In a session at the European Parliament discussing Europe's response to the United States regarding Greenland, Danish politician Anders Vistisen cursed in English at U.S. President Donald Trump. Vistisen said, "Mr. President, let me put it in a language you can understand; get lost."

Danish Member of the European Parliament Anders Vistisen spoke today at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France, during a session titled "The Integrity and Sovereignty of Greenland and Denmark: The Necessity of a United EU Response to U.S. Blackmail Attempts."

CURSED TRUMP FROM THE PODIUM

Starting his speech by directly addressing U.S. President Donald Trump, the far-right Vistisen cursed in English, saying, "Mr. President, let me express it in a language you can understand; get lost."

Vistisen's speech was interrupted by AP Vice President Stefanuta.

European Parliament Vice President Nicolae Stefanuta immediately interrupted Vistisen, stating, "What you are doing is against the rules. Your feelings may be very strong, and there may be such an atmosphere in the room, but we have clear rules regarding the use of offensive language and inappropriate expressions. I am sorry to have to cut you off, but even if you have strong political feelings, this is unacceptable," he said.

"THE ONLY LANGUAGE TRUMP UNDERSTANDS"

After the warning, Vistisen continued his speech, saying, "The only language Trump understands is the language that is expressed directly. The only respect Trump has is for a straightforward and clear response. However, the EU has stepped back. Today, the High Representative stated that discussing security threats around the Arctic is legitimate. However, this situation has arisen due to the U.S. administration, which has reduced the number of troops from 15,000 to only 150," he said.

Emphasizing that while Trump threatens Europe with additional tariffs, Europe has made further investment commitments to the U.S. economy, Vistisen stated, "If Europe does not clearly reject Trump and does not understand that we need to say 'No' to him before the military threat against Denmark is off the table and before the idea of dividing Denmark is abandoned, we will have to discuss this issue repeatedly. I hope Europe finally wakes up and gets out of this situation," he said.
