Trump Threatens Tariffs in Fiery Call with Danish PM Frederiksen over Greenland
Jan 24, 2025, 08:47 PM
President Donald Trump had a heated 45-minute telephone conversation with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, insisting he was serious about taking over Greenland, according to a report by the Financial Times citing senior European officials. The call, which took place last week, reportedly went very badly, with Trump being aggressive and confrontational after Frederiksen reiterated that Greenland is not for sale. Danish officials are said to be in crisis mode, with one official describing the conversation as "horrendous" and another saying, "The Danes are utterly freaked out by this." Trump allegedly threatened specific measures against Denmark, such as targeted tariffs, heightening tensions between the two nations.
