Denmark evacuates U.S. submarine crew member [View all]

in Greenlandic waters and transfers him to Nuuk, Greenland for medical treatment. Meanwhile, our insane clown president is barking that he is sending a floating hospital (which coincidentally can hold 1200 troops) to Greenland because people there don't have access to medical care.

"NUUK, Feb 21 (Reuters) - Denmark's Joint Arctic Command said on Saturday it had evacuated a crew member who required urgent medical treatment from a U.S. submarine in Greenlandic waters, seven nautical miles outside of Greenland's capital Nuuk.
The crew member has been transferred to the Greenlandic health authorities and the hospital in Nuuk, the Joint Arctic Command said in a statement.

The evacuation was carried out using the Danish Defence Seahawk helicopter, it added."
