Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has received widespread support from European leaders in response to President Trump's claims over Greenland. On her tour through Berlin, Paris, and Brussels, Frederiksen emphasized the importance of respecting territorial sovereignty and highlighted the commitment of the international community to uphold these principles post-World War II. Trump's interest in Greenland, believed to have significant mineral resources, has been met with resistance from both Greenland's leadership and Frederiksen, who clarified that Greenland's future lies solely in the hands of its people. The backdrop of these discussions also includes the challenges facing Europe and NATO.
This is a very, very clear message... that of course there must be respect for territory and the sovereignty of states. This is a crucial part of the international community, the international community that we have built together since World War II.
Trump has signalled that he wants the Arctic island -- which is believed to hold large untapped mineral and oil reserves -- to become part of the United States.
Frederiksen said she had received support from European leaders to counter Trump's threats to take over Greenland.
The chancellor said 'the times we live in are challenging' and require a strong Europe and NATO.
