Danish PM in Greenland for ‘show of support’ after Trump threats
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen visited Greenland on Monday in what is being seen as a symbolic show of support for the autonomous territory after recent threats made by former U.S. President Donald Trump regarding the island’s status.
Frederiksen, accompanied by several key ministers, held meetings with local officials and communities to emphasize Denmark’s commitment to Greenland’s autonomy and right to self-determination. This visit comes after Trump sparked controversy in 2019 by expressing interest in buying Greenland, which is a self-governing part of the Danish Kingdom.
During her visit, Frederiksen reiterated that Greenland is not for sale and underlined the strong ties between Denmark and Greenland. She stated that Greenland plays a crucial role in Danish foreign policy and that the Danish government is dedicated to supporting the island’s economic and social development.
The visit is seen as an attempt to reassure the people of Greenland, who have expressed concerns over their future amid geopolitical shifts and increasing global interest in the region due to its strategic location and natural resources.
The trip also aims to send a message to the international community about Denmark’s unwavering commitment to Greenland amid speculation and external pressures.
