Trump covets Greenland in renewed threat to Denmark

"It makes absolutely no sense to talk about the US needing to take over Greenland. The US has no right to annex any of the three countries in the Danish Kingdom," Ms Frederiksen said in a statement on Sunday. Mr Trump told the magazine: "We do need Greenland, absolutely. We need it for defence."

He spoke a day after the US captured Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro and the president said Washington would run the Latin American country.

This raised concerns in Denmark that the same could happen with Greenland, a Danish territory.
