Denmark has called on the United States to stop “threatening” Greenland, as US President Donald Trump told the media he “absolutely” needed the territory, a day after the US seized the leader of Venezuela.
The US’ military intervention in Venezuela has reignited fears for Greenland, which Trump has repeatedly made clear he wants to become an annexed part of the US.
Those fears were underscored by Trump’s comments to The Atlantic magazine and a social media post by the wife of his most influential aide showing Greenland in the colours of the US flag.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said in a statement: “I have to say this very clearly to the United States: It is absolutely absurd to say that the United States should take control of Greenland.”

She urged the United States to cease “menacing its long-standing ally.”

Trump has said the US will now “run” Venezuela indefinitely and tap its huge oil reserves.
In Greenland’s case, Trump has claimed that making the Danish territory part of the US would serve US national security interests, given its strategic location in the Arctic.

Greenland is abundant in crucial minerals that are essential for high-tech industries.

Asked in a telephone interview with The Atlantic about the implications of the Venezuela military operation for Greenland, Trump said it was up to others to decide, according to the magazine.
“They are going to have to view it themselves. I really don’t know,” Trump was quoted as saying.

“However, we definitely require Greenland. It is vital for our defense,” she emphasized.

Over the weekend, Katie Miller — wife of Trump’s deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller — posted the contentious image of the Danish autonomous territory in the colours of the US flag on her X feed.
Her post had a single word above it: “SOON.”
Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen called the post “disrespectful”.
“Relations between nations and peoples are built on mutual respect and international law — not on symbolic gestures that disregard our status and our rights,” he stated on X.

He reassured, “There’s no need for alarm or worry. Our nation is not on the market, and decisions about our future aren’t made through social media.”

Denmark’s ambassador to the US, Jesper Moeller Soerensen, reacted earlier on Sunday with his own post saying “we expect full respect for the territorial integrity” of Denmark, above a link to Katie Miller’s image.
Moves by his government towards that goal — including his appointment of an envoy to the Danish territory — have drawn the ire of both Denmark and the European Union.

Stephen Miller is often credited as the mastermind behind many of Trump’s initiatives, steering the president on stringent immigration policies and domestic strategies.

Denmark’s ambassador gave a pointed “friendly reminder” in response to Katie Miller’s post that his country — a NATO member — has “significantly boosted its Arctic security efforts” and worked together with the US on that.

“We are close allies and should continue to work together as such,” Soerensen wrote.
Katie Miller was deputy press secretary under Trump at the homeland security department during Trump’s first term.
She later worked as communications director for then-vice president Mike Pence and also acted as his press secretary.
