The Danish authorities told US President-elect Donald Trump’s team that they are ready to discuss the expansion of the US military presence in Greenland, Axios reported.
According to its sources, the Danish authorities sent a series of private messages to Trump’s representatives "expressing willingness to discuss boosting security in Greenland or increasing the U.S. military presence on the island." According to the report, the Danish government seeks to convince Trump that his security concerns could be alleviated without any territorial aspirations for Greenland.
The report cites a European diplomat, who noted that Denmark is considered "one of the closest allies of the US within the EU, and no one could have imagined it would be the first country with which Trump would pick a fight."
