Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen is on a mission for European unity in light of U.S. President Trump's provocative interest in Greenland. Amid ongoing warfare in Europe and changing global dynamics, she underscores the importance of collaboration in addressing challenges. Following a unity meeting with Nordic leaders, Denmark plans a significant investment in Arctic security to assert its sovereignty. The Danish parliament speaker condemned Trump's remarks, indicating they were not well-received and signifying potential relational strains with the U.S. as tariffs could disrupt Denmark's reliance on American markets.
"With war on the continent and changes in geopolitical reality, ... unity is crucial," said Mette Frederiksen, underscoring Denmark's commitment to collaborating with European allies.
"Denmark announced plans to invest 1.65bn dollars to boost its security in the Arctic region," focusing on asserting sovereignty amid heightened geopolitical tensions.
"Any disruption through Trump's favorite word, tariffs, would hurt and could easily escalate quickly as the EU would be expected to respond as a bloc," highlighted the need for unity.
"Trump's words on Greenland felt like a kick in the gut," reflecting the distress in Denmark regarding U.S. intentions to acquire Greenland.
