Danish PM says Greenland showdown at 'decisive moment' after new Trump threatsListen to this articleDenmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has issued a new warning over GreenlandCOPENHAGEN - Denmark's Prime Minister said Sunday that her country faces a "decisive moment" in its diplomatic battle over Greenland after US President Donald Trump again suggested using force to seize the Arctic territory. Ahead of meetings in Washington from Monday on the global scramble for key raw materials, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said that "there is a conflict over Greenland". "This is a decisive moment" with stakes that go beyond the immediate issue of Greenland's future, she added in a debate with other Danish political leaders. Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson condemned US "threatening rhetoric" after Trump repeated that Washington was "going to do something on Greenland, whether they like it or not". A Danish colony until 1953, Greenland gained home rule 26 years later and is contemplating eventually loosening its ties with Denmark.
