Donald Trump's recent phone call with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen regarding his demand to buy Greenland took a confrontational turn, as described by senior European officials. During the 45-minute conversation, Trump threatened potential tariffs and expressed frustration over Frederiksen's refusal to sell the territory. The call left Danish officials alarmed, with some describing the situation as serious and dangerous. Greenland, rich in natural resources, has significant strategic importance for the U.S. Despite this, Frederiksen firmly stated that Greenland is not for sale and belongs to the Greenlanders themselves.
According to five current and former senior European officials who were briefed on the call, the conversation was horrendous. One person said: He was very firm. It was a cold shower.
The Danes are now in crisis mode. Someone else said: The Danes are utterly freaked out by this.
