"Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen told broadcaster TV2, "If the United States chooses to attack another NATO country militarily, then everything stops. That is, including our NATO and thus the security that has been provided since the end of the Second World War. Frederiksen said Trump "should be taken seriously" over his demands for Greenland. "We will not accept a situation where we and Greenland are threatened in this way," she added."
"Greenland and Denmark are bracing for a US military intervention as Trump told reporters, "let's talk about Greenland in 20 days," which has sparked fears across NATO and European leaders. Greenland's Prime Minister Jens Frederik Nielsen said that Trump's attack on Venezuela is not the same as the US President's demands for Greenland. Nielsen said, "We are not in a situation where we think that there might be a takeover of the country overnight"
"Dario Battistella, Professor of Political Science at Sciences Po Bordeaux, told the Express that "we cannot rule out the possibility" that Trump will attack Greenland, following the attack on Venezuela. Battistella said, "If, according to his interpretation, "America First" requires the use of armed force, as is happening today in Venezuela and perhaps tomorrow in Greenland, Trump will launch wars he hopes to win quickly."
Denmark warned that a United States military attack on Greenland would terminate NATO and undermine the post‑Second World War security framework. President Trump has expressed immediate interest in acquiring Greenland and its mineral resources and said "let's talk about Greenland in 20 days." Denmark and Greenland are preparing for potential US military actions. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said an attack on a NATO member would halt NATO protections and that threats to Greenland will not be accepted. Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens Frederik Nielsen rejected the prospect of an overnight takeover and called for cooperative relations. A political scientist said an attack cannot be ruled out under an "America First" armed‑force interpretation.
