The Danish prime minister draws a firm line on Greenland as tensions ease and Arctic talks move forward.
Denmark’s prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, said on Thursday that any talks with the United States over Greenland must respect Danish and Greenlandic sovereignty, striking a careful but firm tone as Europe cautiously welcomed President Donald Trump’s retreat from tariff threats and talk of force. « We can negotiate security, investment, the economy », Frederiksen said. « But we cannot negotiate our sovereignty. »
Her comments came after Trump said a « framework of a future deal » had emerged following discussions with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in Davos, easing weeks of escalating rhetoric that had pushed transatlantic relations toward their deepest crisis in decades.
