Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has told Donald Trump that it is up to Greenland to decide its own future.
The US president-elect sparked turmoil in Copenhagen and Nuuk, Greenland’s capital, last week when he signalled that the US wanted to acquire the huge arctic island, which is an autonomous territory of Denmark.
In a 45-minute phone call on Wednesday, Frederiksen told Trump that Denmark was prepared to increase its responsibility for security in the Arctic.
She also reiterated the statements of the Greenland PM, Mute Egede, who recently said that Greenland was not for sale.
