Denmark's Reaction to Trump's Greenland Proposal

Denmark has expressed confusion and concern over President Trump's repeated suggestions to acquire Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark. Political analysts in Denmark, like Elizabeth Svaney, have noted a shift in the country's political discourse, especially after a conversation between Trump and Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, which left her visibly unsettled. The suggestion has sparked various theories regarding Trump's motivations, ranging from ignorance to strategic negotiation tactics. This situation has raised questions about U.S. intentions toward Greenland, where Danish officials assert that any interests the U.S. has can be addressed through diplomatic discussions, rather than threats of annexation.
