Portuguese centre-right backs centre-left candidate against the far-right presidential candidate.

JD Vance explains that:
- Denmark isn’t being a good ally, that therefore
- Trump *will* take a territorial interest in Greenland, and that
- the USA doesn’t care “what European leaders scream at us”
—> Hullo, European Leaders? Anyone willing to be frank to the public? Mark Carney is.
