Denmark PM urges Trump to stop ‘threatening’ Greenland

AI Summary

medium article 2 min

In January 2026, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen urged US President Donald Trump to cease threatening to take over Greenland, a Danish territory. This followed Trump's renewed interest in acquiring Greenland, citing defense needs in an interview with The Atlantic. Frederiksen stated the US has no right to annex any part of the Danish Kingdom. Her statement was prompted by the US bombing of Venezuela and the removal of its president, raising concerns in Denmark about similar actions towards Greenland. Trump's administration recently appointed a special envoy supportive of annexation to Greenland, which holds strategic importance for the US due to its location and mineral wealth, as the US aims to reduce reliance on Chinese exports.
