Denmark responds to renewed US pressure over Greenland, with Danish leaders stating they will defend the territory and NATO commitments. Multiple outlets report that President Trump again raises the idea that Greenland should come under US control, prompting Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen to tell reporters that Denmark will defend “every inch” of its territory. The comments are framed as a readiness to protect Greenland and the wider kingdom of Denmark.
The reporting also links the dispute to broader tensions around NATO. Sources say Trump threatens to reduce or pull US troops from Europe if his demands are not met, and he expresses dissatisfaction with NATO countries that push back against his earlier efforts related to Greenland.
Taken together, the coverage describes a parallel diplomatic pressure campaign: Denmark insists on sovereignty over Greenland while emphasizing defense commitments tied to NATO. No sources indicate that any agreement is reached, but the statements suggest heightened public signaling ahead of or during NATO-related discussions.
