Denmark's PM Mette Frederiksen asserts that Trump is serious about acquiring Greenland, a move both Denmark and Greenland oppose, emphasizing their stance as NATO members.
COPENHAGEN, Jan 5 (Reuters) - Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said on Monday that she believes U.S. President Donald Trump is serious about wanting to take over Greenland, and that both Denmark and Greenland have clearly rejected his ambition.
"Unfortunately, I think the American president should be taken seriously when he says he wants Greenland," Frederiksen told public broadcaster DR.
"I have made it very clear where the Kingdom of Denmark stands, and Greenland has repeatedly said that it does not want to be part of the United States," she added.
"If the United States attacks another NATO country, everything stops," Frederiksen said.
