Regarding US President Trump's social media post about “encircling Iceland into the US territory,” Icelandic Prime Minister Christan Frostadottir said on the 8th that the move was serious and ridiculous. Frostadottil said at a government press conference on the same day that the message conveyed in the post was “ridiculous” and an insult to Icelanders, Canadians, and the people of Greenland. “Making fun of a country's sovereignty is neither funny nor normal.”
