Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has denied that there was an agreement between the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, NATO and the United States on the Greenland issue. Talking to a News Channel, Ms. Frederiksen said this when she was asked about U.S. President Donald Trump’s claim in Davos that he had reached an agreement with NATO on Greenland. She said, essentially, a state is sovereign, its borders must be respected, and the right of other peoples to self-determination must be respected. Ms. Frederiksen reached France yesterday together with Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen. French President Emmanuel Macron said at a joint press conference that escalating tensions with the United States over Greenland constitutes a strategic wake-up call for Europe as a whole, while reiterating France’s solidarity with Denmark and Greenland. The world’s largest island, Greenland, is a self-governing territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, with Copenhagen retaining control over defense and foreign policy. Since returning to office in 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly expressed a desire to obtain Greenland, a move that has been rejected by Europe.
