Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has convened a meeting with business leaders to address rising geopolitical concerns following U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's remarks about taking control of Greenland. Last week, Trump hinted at potential military or economic measures, including tariffs, to secure the semi-autonomous Arctic territory.
Frederiksen, in a 45-minute call with Trump, reaffirmed Greenland’s autonomy, emphasizing that its future lies in its own hands. She assured Trump that Denmark is committed to bolstering Arctic security and highlighted Denmark’s contributions to the U.S. economy through major corporations like Novo Nordisk, Maersk, Carlsberg, Lego, Pandora, and Vestas.
Frederiksen underscored the shared interests between the U.S. and the EU in fostering increased trade and collaboration. Minister for Trade and Industry Morten Bodskov supported this sentiment, stating, “In a time of geopolitical tensions, we must prioritize dialogue and cooperation with the Danish business community.”
Details regarding the business leaders’ meeting remain undisclosed, with the ministry providing no specifics on attendees or timing. Meanwhile, Danish foreign minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen has also summoned the foreign policy committee for a related meeting.
This proactive stance highlights Denmark’s efforts to navigate diplomatic challenges while reinforcing its economic and security commitments in the Arctic region.
