So his excuse is people were joking about the US invading Greenland and so naturally they started joking about the US invading Iceland.
Yeah that tracks, a totally innocent comment that no one could possibly take offence to in any way. Except of course the US is threatening to invade Greenland so it's not really a joke. More statement of future intent.



Yeah but I can totally see the Trump administration forgetting about that part and just leaving their foreign ambassadors out to dry.
