Danish officials have decided not to attend the World Economic Forum in Davos this week amid an intensifying dispute over Greenland that’s shaking transatlantic relations.

“Danish government representatives were invited this year, and any decisions on attendance are a matter for the government concerned,” the Forum said in a statement to Bloomberg. “We can confirm that the Danish government will not be represented in Davos this week.”
