Senator Lindsey Graham allegedly called Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen ‘little lady’ and yawned in the face of Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen during diplomatic talks in Munich

Frederiksen reportedly took the tantrum in stride, waited for Graham to finish, and told him "when you're done with that, the meeting can continue."
