The Prime Ministers of Denmark and Greenland have scheduled visits to Berlin and Paris as diplomatic tensions rise due to President Donald Trump's recent demands concerning Greenland.

Denmark's Mette Frederiksen and Greenland's Jens-Frederik Nielsen are slated to meet German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and French President Emmanuel Macron, according to official schedules. Trump's push for control over Greenland has unsettled transatlantic relations, urging European countries to rethink their dependence on the United States.

While Trump has withdrawn his threats of tariffs and ruled out forceful acquisition, the need for a strengthened Europe dominates the agenda of the upcoming meetings. The leaders will also participate in Germany's Welt Economic Summit.
