Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen emphasized on Monday that she considers U.S. President Donald Trump's desire to acquire Greenland as genuine, despite both Denmark and Greenland having decisively dismissed the notion.

Frederiksen further articulated Denmark's official position during a broadcast with DR, confirming Greenland's repeated refusals to become a part of the United States.

She cautioned that if the U.S. were to take aggressive steps impacting another NATO ally, cooperative relations could come to a halt, signaling broader implications for international partnerships.
