Jan 24, 2025, 09:03 PM

Donald Trump insisted he was serious about taking over Greenland in a fiery 45-minute telephone call with Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, according to five senior European officials. The conversation reportedly went very badly, with Trump being aggressive and confrontational after Frederiksen firmly rejected the idea, stating that Greenland 'is not for sale' but acknowledged America's 'big interest' in the region. Trump allegedly threatened specific measures against Denmark, such as targeted tariffs. Danish officials are said to be in crisis mode and 'utterly freaked out' by the call.
