Frederiksen is said to have repeated that Greenland is not for sale, but Trump in turn is said to have refused to listen, according to information to the newspaper.
– Before, it was difficult to take seriously, but now I think it is serious and potentially very dangerous. It was terrible, says one person about the 45-minute long conversation between the two parties, which mainly concerned the Gröland situation.
As newly elected president, Trump has once again reiterated that he wants to buy Greenland from Denmark, a wish that Trump already expressed during his first presidential visit. Now Trump will also highlight that it may be relevant with different tariffs against Denmark and Danish companies if you do not agree to the demands from the Danish side.
– The intention was very clear. They want it (Greenland) and the Danes are now in a crisis situation, says a source.
Discussed customs fees
Frederiksen also reportedly had talks with large Danish companies such as Carlsberg and Novo Nordisk to discuss possible consequences of customs duties from Trump’s side.
At the same time, the Prime Minister’s staff told the Financial Times that they “do not recognize the descriptions of the phone call”.
