Danish Leader Says Trump Still Wants Greenland as Talks Underway

Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said US President Donald Trump still wants to acquire Greenland, after a report revealed the extent of Copenhagen’s preparations earlier this year to militarily counter a potential US attack.

Tensions with the US over Greenland, a territory of the Danish kingdom, have now eased after a framework agreement laid the ground for diplomatic talks. Still, the core dispute remains unresolved nearly two months into negotiations, according to the Danish premier who is seeking to win a third term in general elections on March 24.
