AI Summary

long article 5 min

Following comments made by U.S. President Donald Trump at the World Economic Forum regarding a potential deal on Arctic security, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen asserted on Thursday that Denmark's sovereignty is non-negotiable. Trump had stated he agreed to a "framework of a future deal" with the head of NATO. The remarks come after previous interest expressed by Trump in purchasing Greenland, which is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark. Many Greenlanders feel dismissed by Trump's comments. The Danish Prime Minister made the statement after a meeting in the Foreign Policy Committee in Copenhagen.
