“We expect full respect for the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark,” Copenhagen’s ambassador to the U.S., Jesper Møller Sørensen, said in a post on X that included Miller’s posting, in what he termed a “friendly reminder” of the longstanding defense ties between the two countries.
Trump last month named a special envoy to Greenland, sparking a new diplomatic frenzy in Europe.
The U.S. “has to have Greenland for national security,” Trump said at a press conference announcing the appointment of Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry as his envoy to Greenland.
U.S. Vice President JD Vance last March did not rule out using military action to bring Greenland under American control, but said it wouldn’t be necessary if Greenlanders chose to break from Denmark and “cut a deal” with Washington.
An American military incursion in Venezuela early Saturday captured President Nicolas Maduro and flew him out of the country. Hours later, Trump said the U.S. will “run” Venezuela until a leadership transition is able to take place.
