And so it begins...
Washington: Denmark is in “crisis mode” after Donald Trump made a direct play for Greenland in a “horrendous” phone call with the country’s prime minister.
The US president spoke to Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen for 45 minutes last week and made it clear he wanted to place Greenland under American control.
Trump then became “aggressive”, according to the newspaper, and threatened to impose tariffs on Denmark unless Greenland was sold to the US.
The call came after Trump refused to rule out using military force to take Greenland in a press conference on January 7, arguing that it was a matter of “national security” that the US gained an Arctic base.
