US ‘Has No Right’ to Take Over Greenland, Danish PM Says after Renewed Trump Threats

THE GUARDIAN: Mette Frederiksen responds to president amid febrile atmosphere after US actions in Venezuela

Denmark’s prime minister has urged Donald Trump to stop threatening to take over Greenland after the president said the US “absolutely” needs the territory.

Mette Frederiksen said on Sunday: “It makes absolutely no sense to talk about the US needing to take over Greenland. The US has no right to annex any of the three countries in the Danish kingdom.”

The US bombardment of Venezuela and the capture of its president, Nicolás Maduro, has renewed fears of an American takeover of Greenland, as members of Trump’s Maga movement gleefully set their sights on the Danish territory after the attack in South America.

Speaking aboard Air Force One on Sunday hours after Frederiksen’s remarks, Trump doubled down on his claim that Greenland should become part of the United States. » | Deborah Cole | Sunday, January 4, 2026

Trump must surely be the worst US president ever! He is no bumptious, self-opinionated, and aggressive. Irritatingly so. He wants all that he surveys, just like a spoilt child. The world needs to do what the brave Mette Frederiksen is doing: the world needs to stand up to Trump and contain him and his expansionary ambitions. — © Mark Alexander
