AI Summary

long article 6 min

Tensions are escalating between the US, Denmark, and Greenland as Donald Trump dismisses Greenland's Prime Minister's rejection of a US acquisition, stating it will be a "big problem" for him. These comments precede planned talks in Washington between Danish and Greenlandic foreign ministers and US officials regarding the matter. The dispute has already impacted relations, with Danish tourism to the US dropping significantly. Several European nations, including Poland, Spain, Germany, and France, have commented on the situation, with France planning to open a consulate in Greenland. Denmark plans to increase its military presence in Greenland and discuss increased NATO activities. A recent poll indicates that only 17% of Americans support acquiring Greenland.
