Danish PM tells Trump to stop ‘threats’ against Greenland
The Danish Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen, has openly expressed her disapproval of President Donald Trump’s recent statements regarding the possibility of purchasing Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory. The incident unfolded after reports emerged that Trump had privately discussed the idea of buying the vast island, sparking a wave of reactions and speculations.
Frederiksen rebuked Trump’s suggestion, labeling it as both “absurd” and emphasizing that Greenland is not for sale. Her firm stance reflected the sentiment shared by many in Denmark, with the former Danish Prime Minister, Lars Lokke Rasmussen, calling Trump’s musing a “grotesque proposal.” The Danish government reiterated that Greenland’s vast mineral resources, strategic location, and environmental significance make it a crucial part of Danish territory.
In response to Frederiksen’s comments, President Trump postponed his scheduled state visit to Denmark, citing the Prime Minister’s remarks as “nasty” and “inappropriate.” Trump’s decision to delay the visit underscored the increasing tension between the two allies over the Greenland debacle.
Greenland itself, while caught in the middle of this diplomatic spat, stated that it was not for sale and would like to focus on developing its economy and infrastructure.
The interactions between the U.S., Denmark, and Greenland have sparked a global conversation about international diplomacy, territorial integrity, and the implications of political rhetoric on longstanding alliances.
