| Danish leader blasts Trump over Greenland amid his threats to take it over as she warns of building up her country's military | ||
| 2026-01-03 | ||
Trump has repeatedly revived his push to seize control of Greenland - Denmark's semi-autonomous territory and a NATO ally - most recently just weeks ago with the appointment of a special envoy. Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry was appointed to the role, with Trump declaring the goal of 'making Greenland part of the US,' which he has targeted for years because of its strategic position in the Arctic. The president doubled down the following day, calling Greenland vital to 'national protection' and claiming that the US had explored the island three centuries ago. On Thursday, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen of the ruling Social Democrats blasted Trump's ongoing threats during her annual New Year's speech, insisting that Denmark will 'stand firm on what is right and wrong.' 'In this past year, we have had to pay attention to a lot. Threats. Pressure. Derogatory language. From our closest ally for a lifetime,' Frederiksen said, according to Danish daily newspaper Berlingske. 'Wanting to take over another country, other people. As if it were something you could buy and own,' she added. 'It doesn't belong anywhere.' Frederiksen said in the televised speech that Denmark is quickly ramping up its military force and reinforcing stronger security in the Arctic amid the president's escalating pressure.
