The prime ministers of Denmark and Greenland will visit Berlin and Paris to shore up support amid U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent threats against the Arctic island, according to Reuters.
The Danish prime minister’s office said Mette Frederiksen and Jens-Frederik Nielsen will discuss “the current foreign policy situation and the need for a strengthened Europe” in their meetings.
Mette Frederiksen and Jens-Frederik Nielsen will meet with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Tuesday and French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday, official schedules showed.
Trump’s demands for control of Greenland have shaken transatlantic relations and accelerated European efforts to reduce dependence on the United States, even as Trump last week withdraw tariff threats and ruled out taking Greenland by force.
The two will also attend the World Economic Summit in Germany on Tuesday.
