A Heated Call Between Frederiksen and Trump
In an exclusive interview with TIME, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen shared details about her recent conversation with U.S. President Donald Trump. During the call, Trump once again raised the issue of Greenland. Frederiksen firmly stated that Greenland remains part of Denmark and that its future is for Greenlanders to decide.
Key Issues Discussed
Frederiksen described the conversation as direct and focused on pressing international security topics. While Denmark and the U.S. do not always agree, she emphasized the importance of maintaining strong alliances.
Europe’s Independence in Supporting Ukraine
Frederiksen stressed that Europe must be ready to act independently of U.S. decisions. She urged European nations to strengthen their defense capabilities and continue supporting Ukraine, regardless of any shifts in American policy.
NATO’s Role and Potential Troop Deployment
She also addressed the possibility of European troops in Ukraine. Any such move, she noted, would require strong backing from NATO allies. Frederiksen highlighted that NATO’s Article 5 is crucial in ensuring the safety of European forces.
Strengthening European Security
The Danish Prime Minister revealed that high-level NATO meetings have taken place to discuss security strategies. Countries such as the Netherlands, the U.K., the Nordic and Baltic states, and Poland are increasingly aligning to address emerging threats.
Trump’s Foreign Policy and Denmark’s Commitment
Frederiksen commented on Trump’s “America First” policy, acknowledging that many Americans believe in it. However, she insisted that European nations must prioritize their own security and unity. Denmark remains committed to NATO and international cooperation.
A Call to Strengthen Defense
She concluded by reaffirming Denmark’s unwavering support for Ukraine. “We must act quickly and prepare for any scenario,” she warned. European nations must enhance their defense infrastructure to ensure stability in the region.
