European leaders are criticizing President Donald Trump and his proposed tariffs, pledging solidarity with Greenland at the World Economic Forum.
US President Donald Trump wants to buy Greenland as he says it is the only way for the United States to secure its defence.
Denmark’s foreign minister said on Wednesday that a “fundamental disagreement” with U.S. President Donald Trump over the future of Greenland remained unresolved after high-level talks in Washington, even as Denmark and NATO allies moved to increase their military presence in the Arctic territory amid rising tensions.
Denmark is increasing its military presence in and around Greenland with immediate effect, according to a joint statement by the Danish Foreign Ministry and Greenland’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Research.
A bipartisan U.S. Congressional delegation's comments in Denmark contrasted with those emanating from the White House.
The White House and Denmark contradicted each other in public about what they had agreed to this week as President Trump continued to demand U.S. ownership of Greenland.
