COPENHAGEN: Denmark called on the United States to stop “threatening” Greenland Sunday as President Donald Trump told US media he “absolutely” needed the territory, a day after Washington seized the leader of Venezuela. Washington’s military intervention in Venezuela has reignited fears for Greenland, which Trump has repeatedly made clear he wants to become an annexed part of the United States. Those fears were underscored by Trump’s comments to The Atlantic magazine and a social media post by the wife of his most influential aide showing Greenland in the colors of the US flag.

‘It makes absolutely no sense to talk about the U.S. needing to take over Greenland’

Denmark's PM urges Trump to cease Greenland takeover threats, emphasizing the island's status and historical ties with Denmark.
