Danish PM Says Trump “Very Serious” About Annexing Greenland
Trump has repeatedly voiced interest in obtaining the autonomous Danish territory, citing its strategic location and purported threats from Russia and China—claims dismissed by Copenhagen, Moscow, and Beijing. While he initially did not rule out military options, last month he announced a framework agreement with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte.
Speaking at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday, Frederiksen described the pressure on Greenland as “unacceptable.”
“Unfortunately, the US president remains very serious,” she said, adding that “the people of Greenland have never been threatened by anyone before.”
Although Denmark is open to cooperating with Washington to allow an expanded military presence, Frederiksen emphasized that “there are, of course, things that you cannot compromise on,” such as sovereignty and territorial integrity.
“We now have a working group. We will try to see if we can find a solution… we will do whatever we can, but of course, there are red lines that will not be crossed,” she said following a 45-minute meeting on Friday with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Details of the discussions have not been publicly disclosed.
