Jan 29, 2025

Copenhagen [Denmark], January 29: NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen agreed at a meeting that allies need to focus on strengthening defences in the Arctic, a source familiar to the talks told Reuters.
"They agreed that in this effort all allies have a role to play," the source said after the meeting.
U.s. President Donald Trump has expressed interest in making Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark, a part of the U.S. since his reelection in November.
He hasn't ruled out using military or economic power to persuade Denmark to hand it over.
