Denmark Rebuffs Trump Over Greenland: 'Stop the Threats' – Which Other Countries Has Trump Targeted?

Donald Trump has sparked a strong reaction from Denmark following his comments regarding the potential annexation of Greenland. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen condemned Trump's remarks, calling them “completely crazy” and emphasizing that Greenland belongs to Denmark and that the US has no legal basis to annex it. Frederiksen urged the US to stop “threats” against a historic ally and a people who do not wish to be sold. These statements are part of a series of aggressive remarks by Trump against various countries, including Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, Iran, and Greenland. These remarks appear to indicate US expansionist ambitions in Latin and Central America, as was also seen after the crisis in Venezuela. Demark maintains that Greenland is a historic ally and that the US attempt to gain control of the territory is unacceptable. Frederiksen stressed the importance of maintaining good relations between the two countries, but made it clear that Denmark's sovereignty over Greenland is non-negotiable. This incident highlights the unpredictable and often controversial foreign policy of Donald Trump, as well as his willingness to challenge the status quo and pursue unilateral solutions.
