Danish PM in Greenland for 'show of support' after Trump threats

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has visited Greenland in a show of support, following weeks of tension with the United States over President Donald Trump's interest in potentially purchasing the autonomous territory. The visit comes after Trump's suggestion that the US could "buy" Greenland, which was swiftly rejected by the Danish government. Frederiksen described the idea as "absurd" and stressed that Greenland is not for sale. During her visit, Frederiksen met with Greenland's prime minister, Kim Kielsen, and reaffirmed Denmark's commitment to the territory. She emphasized the importance of the close relationship between Denmark and Greenland, and reiterated that any decisions about Greenland's future would be made in close cooperation with the Greenlandic people. The visit is seen as a gesture of solidarity and a way to demonstrate Denmark's support for Greenland's autonomy, following the diplomatic tension with the US. It underscores the Danish government's determination to maintain its long-standing ties with the strategically important Arctic territory.
