Mette Frederiksen

Mette Frederiksen is the current Prime Minister of Denmark. She is newsworthy due to her firm stance against the potential sale of Greenland to the United States and related discussions about sovereignty.

She has also released statements emphasizing that decisions regarding Denmark and Greenland are solely within their jurisdiction. Furthermore, there have been discussions about US sovereignty over military bases in Greenland, which Denmark opposes. Frederiksen's actions highlight the importance of Greenland's strategic location and the complexities of international relations in the Arctic region, particularly concerning sovereignty and security.
