Danish PM tells Trump to stop 'threats' against Greenland

Denmark's ambassador reminded the U.S. to respect Greenland's sovereignty after a viral post showed Greenland with a U.S. flag, stressing $13.7 billion was spent on Arctic security in 2025.

  • On Sunday, January 4, 2026, Jesper Møller Sørensen, Denmark's ambassador to the United States, replied to Katie Miller's viral Greenland image saying, `We expect full respect for the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark` and stressed allied cooperation.
  • President Donald Trump has repeatedly said the United States `needs` Greenland and reiterated his wish to take it, following the U.S. military operation in Venezuela that captured Nicolas Maduro.
  • Copenhagen pointed to concrete defence spending and access, noting Greenland's strategic role in U.S. ballistic missile defence and its mineral wealth, with a $13.7 billion 2025 security commitment and U.S. access agreement.
  • Following the envoy's post, Greenland's Premier Jens‑Frederik Nielsen called the image disrespectful but said it changes nothing, and Naalakkersuisut continues its work calmly, while Frederiksen urged the U.S. to respect Greenland’s sovereignty, saying `are not for sale`.
  • The incident positions the dispute within a larger Arctic competition, as Denmark has sought to repair ties and increase Arctic defence investment over the past year, potentially straining U.S.‑Denmark relations.
