AI Summary:
Mette Frederiksen began her three-day trip to the vast Arctic island less than a week after a visit by US Vice President JD Vance drew a frosty reception from authorities in Denmark and Greenland. Ahead of her visit, she had said she aimed to strengthen Copenhagen’s ties with the island and emphasised the importance of respectful cooperation. Trump’s interest in controlling Greenland has prompted Denmark to step up efforts to improve relations with the island. Experts have said that the US’ interest in a takeover has actually reinforced Greenlander’s ties with Copenhagen. Frederiksen’s visit is primarily about signalling support at a time of intense scrutiny, says Ulrik Pram Gad, an academic at the Danish Institute for International Studies. Vance accused Denmark of not doing a good job of keeping the island safe.
