Dogsled races had nothing to do with it.
They were literally going to Greenland in order to find citizens who wanted to be a part of the US so they could film a propaganda video justifying Greenland's forced annexation, and were promptly told to fuck all the way off.
The best part was that it wasn’t even an official dismissal / declaration of persona non grata. It was that they had people literally going door to door, and nobody - like, literally fucking NOBODY - was in any way receptive to the idea.
Greenlanders go fucking hard. I love it. ❤️ 🇬🇱
Don't get me wrong. That was absolutely chef's kiss.
But the government still should have declared them persona non grata just to show solidarity and a willingness to tell Trump to fuck off.
They should have done it after all their citizens told the idiots fuck off. Perfect situation for rubbing salt in the wound.
No, this title displaces the blame. The Trump administration bootstrapped a Greenland visit onto an invitation to a dogsled event, it got downgraded after no one wanted them there. It’s similar to Trump’s approach to dating: just force yourself onto the victim while they’re saying no.
I hope greenlanders turn into the IRA if America tries to take it over. Seriously, we don't want greenland. It's just the orange ass-hat
Just invite some Finns over and give us a taste of the ol’ white death with their help.

Snowmobile bombs? Harpoon attacks on pubs frequented by American military personnel?
"under Dutch control". Damn muppets.
It's not always easy or obvious how to deal with uninvited guests. Just ask Danish and Greenlandic officials. They welcomed a U.S. decision to alter a planned visit this week to the Arctic territory they said was not wanted or needed. It threatened an icy reception amid President Donald Trump's vow to control Greenland.
"It's very positive the Americans canceled," Denmark's Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said Wednesday.
We’re very popular. /s
