Denmark says Trump must be taken seriously about wanting Greenland
https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/greenland-says-no-more-fantasies-about-annexation-after-trump-remarks-2026-01-05/COPENHAGEN, Jan 5 (Reuters) - Denmark's prime minister said on Monday U.S. President Donald Trump must be taken seriously when he says he wants to acquire Greenland, and she reiterated that the island did not want to be part of the United States.
European powers also rallied behind Greenland after the U.S. military operation in which Venezuela's leader was seized rekindled concerns in Denmark that the island, an autonomous Danish territory, might face a similar scenario.
Trump, who said the U.S. was taking temporary control of oil-producing Venezuela, has said repeatedly he wants to take over Greenland and told The Atlantic magazine on Sunday: "We do need Greenland, absolutely. We need it for defence."
