Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen sought to drum up support from European allies to stand up to Donald Trump’s efforts to appropriate Greenland, as she tried to project unity while avoiding antagonizing the US president.

Frederiksen didn't directly mention Trump's threat in comments at a meeting with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, but said that “we are facing a more uncertain reality, a reality that calls for an even more united Europe and for more cooperation.

The Danish PM's tour of three capitals betrayed the nervousness felt in Denmark over Trump's repeated comments.

Greenland’s population is overwhelmingly against leaving the Danish realm in favor of the US, dealing a blow to President Donald Trump’s insistence the island is keen to join.

A new poll indicates that a significant majority of Greenland residents are opposed to the idea of leaving the Danish Realm and becoming part of the United States. This comes in response to several suggestions by President Donald Trump that Greenlanders would prefer to be aligned with the US rather than Denmark.

U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly said that America needs to take control of Greenland from Denmark for, in his words, “international security.” But as Henry Ridgwell reports, the global attention is driving a desire among many native Greenlanders to determine their own political future.
