The Danish PM's tour of three capitals betrayed the nervousness felt in Denmark over Trump's repeated comments.
Trump’s bid for the Arctic territory was laughed off as a joke. Now, it’s gaining traction and provoking jitters in Europe.
Denmark's prime minister plans stops in Berlin, Paris and Brussels on tour of European capitals as Copenhagen moves to strengthen its presence in Greenland.
Some of Trumps threats to take over Greenland, Canada, and the Panama Canal are based on actual U.S. strategic goals. Others are just idiotic.

Denmark is increasing military spending in the North Atlantic amid President Donald Trump’s bid to have Greenland sold or ceded to the United States.
Europe is uniting in response to US President Donald Trump’s efforts to appropriate Greenland. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen sought to drum up support from German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Berlin and French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris before a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.

US President Donald Trump has not entirely ruled out the possibility of using military force to assert control over Greenland. But Vice President JD Vance stated earlier this month on Fox News that he does not foresee military action being required.
The poll, which surveyed 497 Greenlandic citizens, revealed that 45 percent of respondents said they view Trump's interest in their territory as a threat, while only 8 percent would accept a U.S. passport if given the choice between American and Danish citizenship.
Europeans can never win if they face the relentless force of Donald Trump alone. With his sights fixed on Denmark, which controls Greenland, and the looming threat of tariffs, Trump is putting the rest of Europe to the test.
