Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen reiterated that Greenland is not up for grabs.
“We are ready to defend every inch of Nato, including our own territory,” she said.
European Union spokesman Olof Gill seconded her, saying “decisions about the future of Greenland are for Greenlanders and Danes”.
They were reacting to Trump's remarks that taking control of the world’s largest island was “very important” for the US, but “it’s not important for Denmark”.
“Hitler beat them out in one day, took over, they asked us to take care of Greenland. In fact, we took Greenland, and then stupidly, we gave it back,” Trump said, according to Al Jazeera.
