"The remarks led to a rebuke of Vistisen, who was cut off in the middle of his speech. I'm sorry, colleague, said fellow MP Nicolae Stefanuta of Romania. This is against our rules as much as you might feel, or the room might feel in this, we have clear rules about cuss words, language that is inappropriate in this room. I'm sorry to interrupt you, but it is unacceptable, even if you might have strong political feelings about this."
"Vistisen made similar remarks a year ago. During a 2025 meeting of the European Parliament in Strasbourg, Vistisen addressed Trump directly one day after he began his second term in the White House: Dear President Trump, listen very carefully. Greenland has been part of the Danish kingdom for 800 years. It's an integrated part of our country. It is not for sale. Let me put it in words you might understand. Mr. Trump, f*ck off."
Anders Vistisen directly addressed President Donald Trump during a plenary session of the European Parliament, saying "Mr. President, fuck off" in response to Trump's intensified push to acquire Greenland. The outburst led to Vistisen being cut off and formally rebuked by fellow MP Nicolae Stefanuta for violating parliamentary rules on language and decorum. Vistisen had made nearly identical remarks during a 2025 Strasbourg session, asserting that Greenland has been part of the Danish kingdom for 800 years and is not for sale. The exchanges occurred amid renewed pressure from Trump, who has amped up threats and sent a scathing letter to Norway's prime minister regarding Greenland.
