Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen says her country faces a critical juncture. This follows renewed threats from former U.S. President Donald Trump to take over Greenland.
Speaking at a political rally on Sunday, Frederiksen stated Denmark was "at a crossroads." She accused the United States of potentially turning its back on the NATO alliance.
Greenland is a vast, autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark. While it handles most domestic affairs, foreign and security policy remains with Copenhagen.
Frederiksen labeled the situation a "fateful moment" for the nation. The remarks highlight growing European concern over U.S. commitment to its allies if Trump returns to power.
