US President-elect Donald Trump has previously wanted to buy Greenland from Denmark. At a press conference on Tuesday, he did not rule out military and economic pressure on the matter.
– People don’t even know if Denmark has a legal right to it, he said, among other things.
Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said then that she does not believe that Trump’s threat will come true.
– I want to urge everyone to have some ice in their stomachs.
