In her call with Trump, Mette Frederiksen also reiterated the Greenland PM's comments that it was "not for sale"

US President-elect Donald Trump did not back down from threats during a conversation with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen. He wants to impose high tariffs if Denmark does not give up Greenland,

The European Commission said they have the tools to deal with "unfair economic coercion against a single member state".

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen told President-elect Donald Trump “Greenland is not for sale” during a phone call this week, according to a press release from her office, as Trump continues to express interest in acquiring the Danish territory.

Trump has not spoken publicly about the call, choosing instead to repost on social media the results of a 2019 poll that found that 68 percent of Greenlanders supported independence from Denmark.

Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen called business leaders to a meeting on Thursday after U.S. President-elect Donald Trump last week refused to rule out military or economic action to take control of Greenland.

Denmark's prime minister stressed to the president-elect that Danish companies contribute to growth and jobs in the U.S.
