Denmark's Foreign Minister 'Surprised' by Trump's Statement

Jan 19, 2026 | Denmark's foreign minister referenced the 'strong statement' from Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and said it has given Denmark the belief that the UK and EU will stand behind the nation despite the consequences.

Speaking to Sky's political editor Beth Rigby, Lars Løkke Rasmussen said he was 'surprised' by President Donald Trump's statement - given the meeting he had with Vice President JD Vance and Marco Rubio.

"We made an agreement - the meeting we had last week left me with a clear impression that President Trump honestly wants to acquire Greenland but we also made it crystal clear that this is a red line". "It is not easy when we wake up everyday to new threats," he added.
