Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen says the country has received substantial support from fellow European nations as she seeks support to counter United States President Donald Trump’s threats to take control of Greenland.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen sought to drum up support from European allies to stand up to Donald Trump’s efforts to appropriate Greenland, as she tried to project unity while avoiding antagonizing the US president.

The prime minister does a European tour while announcing more spending on security around the island, following President Trump’s stated desire to have Greenland, a semiautonomous Danish territory, as part of the U.

The Danish PM's tour of three capitals betrayed the nervousness felt in Denmark over Trump's repeated comments.

Nordic leaders met on the weekend and reiterated they are united on defence issues, Denmark's prime minister has said, as her country reels from US President Donald Trump's attempts to take over Greenland.
