Fact check: Did Denmark play 'Send in the Clowns' song before signing US-Greenland security deal?
Denmark's Ministry of Foreign Affairs denied any involvement in choosing the music played before the signing ceremony, but the claim continues to spread on social media.
A viral social media claim that Denmark played the song "Send in the Clowns" before US President Donald Trump signed a security deal with Denmark and Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen at the United Nations headquarters in New York has been debunked by fact-checkers. The song was indeed played moments before Trump entered the room, but Danish officials and media were not involved in selecting the music for the ceremony.
The deal between the US, Denmark, and Greenland aimed to end a diplomatic standoff and expand US military presence on Greenland.
