Denmark, Greenlanders jittery over Trump threat

Jan 06, 2026

Copenhagen [Denmark], January 6: Concern about Greenland is growing in Denmark following renewed comments by President Donald Trump about the need to bring the Arctic island under US control. The seizure by the US of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on Saturday and Trump's growls towards Columbia too suggest Washington may be hatching other shock events - or at least using the threat of intervention to force through foreign policy, observers say.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen bluntly rejected the US president's claim to ownership of the territory.
Numerous heads of government from EU countries, as well as British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, backed Frederiksen's statement. "That's enough now," Greenland's Prime Minister Jens Frederik Nielsen also said in response to Trump's latest comments, posting on Facebook late Sunday, "No more fantasies of annexation." Shortly before the start of his second term, Trump brought up Greenland again. Since then, he has repeatedly threatened to take over the island.
