Mette Frederiksen has warned that US threats to take over the Arctic island are far from over, calling the pressure “unacceptable”
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has warned that US President Donald Trump remains “very serious” about annexing Greenland, despite recently toning down his rhetoric about using military force to take over the resource-rich Arctic territory.
Trump has repeatedly expressed his desire to acquire the autonomous Danish territory, citing its strategic location and alleged threats from Russia and China – claims dismissed by Copenhagen, Moscow, and Beijing. Although he initially did not rule out using military force, last month he announced a “framework” deal with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.
Speaking at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday, Frederiksen argued the threat is far from over, describing the “pressure” on Greenland as “unacceptable.”
