An interesting bit of history:
In 1916, Denmark sold the Danish West Indies to the US. You may know of them as the US Virgin Islands. As part of this sale, the US recognized Danish authority over Greenland.
The text of the complete, ratified agreement is here: www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/...

This is the President explicitly threatening to withhold federal funds from New York City if voters elect a candidate he opposes.
This is an unlawful attempt to coerce voters through federal financial threats and a textbook example of voter intimidation to influence the outcome of a local election.
