Dutch government supports Denmark against Trump's insistence on “buying” Greenland

NL Times  

The Danes have not asked for it, but the Dutch Cabinet still wants to “express solidarity with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen,” said Caspar Veldkamp in a parliamentary debate on the upcoming EU formal summit. “That is beyond dispute.” The Danish government is in crisis mode because the new American president Donald Trump continues to insist on the transfer of Greenland to the United States. According to him, this is necessary for “national security.” Business newspaper FT reported that Trump also made this known to the Danish Prime Minister in a conversation. Veldkamp’s Danish colleague has informed him that Copenhagen “first wants to let the dust settle” and has not yet made a request to take the matter up with the U.S.
