Denmark PM Mette Frederiksen warns of 'significant' military increase amid Donald Trump's Greenland takeover threats
Denmark's PM warns of military buildup as Trump threatens to seize Greenland for US national security
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen announced her country is significantly increasing its military forces in response to former President Donald Trump's repeated threats to take control of Greenland. Frederiksen condemned Trump's statements as unacceptable, emphasizing Denmark's sovereignty over the autonomous territory. In December 2025, Trump claimed the US 'needs' Greenland for 'national security' and suggested the territory would be better off under American control. Frederiksen stated Denmark would bolster its defense capabilities in the Arctic region, citing the strategic importance of Greenland and the need to protect Danish interests. The Danish government has allocated additional funding for military modernization and increased patrols in Greenlandic waters. Trump's comments have drawn international criticism and raised tensions between Denmark and the US.
