US Denmark ambassador pressured Danish think tank to disinvite Trump critic Stanley Sloan @srs2_ from NATO 70 year celebration. buzzfeednews.com/article/miriam… Ambassador Carla Sands had no displomatic experience when Trump appointed her but she paid handsomely to his election campaign.
.@srs2_ : “I now am told it is a new policy: no speakers to be sponsored by the State Department if they have been critical of the President.”

Dumb decision by @StateDept but totally in line with authoritarian Trump: allegiance over qualifications.
And now the Danish Atlantic Council has announced it is canceling its NATO celebration conference altogether
Here is speech by Stan Sloan that the Trumpies didn’t want you to hear, printed in Danish news paper, guaranteeing that YUUUGELY more people will read it than otherwise. Lesson 101 in foreign relations: don’t suppress different views! berlingske.dk/internationalt…
@srs2_ @StateDept
Denmark is a very committed NATO ally but the Trump administration’s attempt to oust a critic from a conference there clearly has hit a nerve. It is seen as an attack on the very freedom that NATO is intended to protect and proof that Trump is a thug. berlingske.dk/globalt/analys…
The US embassy in Copenhagen is now in full damage-control mode.

“deliberative process of joint decision-making and agreement...”

Those are clearly the trademarks of the Trump administration. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
