Free Greenland/Danish healthcare vs. US insurance based healthcare?

The latter leaves between 44,000 and 90,000 dead a year because they don’t have cover. It also leaves 550,000 families bankrupt a year from medical bills.

This is classic ‘photo op going over the heads of leaders direct diplomacy’ from #Trump but smells of #Vance.

But equally #Trump and #Vance may be trying to prevent the world realising it was actually the Danish who came to the rescue of an American submarine crew on Saturday:

‘ #Danish Arctic Command evacuates US submariner

Trump's post on Saturday came after Denmark's Joint Arctic Command said it had evacuated a US submarine crew member who required urgent medical attention.

The submarine was in #Greenland's waters, seven nautical miles outside of #Nuuk.’

Trump says sending 'great hospital boat' to Greenland

The US president said a vessel was "on the way" to Greenland, with the move coming amid a rift between the US and Europe over control of the island. Denmark hit back, saying no medical help was needed.
