Will never happen. Greenland is not a place anyone ‘invades,’ and anyone who thinks otherwise fundamentally misunderstands reality. We stand unshakably with our allies, and we will defend our country without hesitation. Our ancestors survived this harsh land for thousands of years — and so will we.

My daughter Sasja turns 19 today – time really does fly!
You’ve always followed your own path, and now you’re chasing your dreams at the ski academy in Norway with courage and joy.
I wish I could be there to celebrate with you and give you a big birthday hug.
You’re always in my thoughts.
Love you.

Thanks so much for the syrup — I’ll be enjoying it tonight with homemade pancakes! 🥞🇬🇱
