Greenland's prime minister said he hasn't spoken to President-elect Donald Trump, but that he's open to discussions about what "unites us."

The prime minister of the Greenland says the people of his mineral-rich Arctic territory do not want to be Americans, but that he is open to greater cooperation with the United States

Several European leaders have cautioned Donald Trump against violating the sovereignty of other NATO allies across the continent, following comments by the U.S. president-elect that did not rule out using military force to annex Greenland’s territory.

U.S. president-elect Donald Trump says he wants to make Greenland a part of the United States and will not rule out using military or economic power to get Denmark to hand over the mineral-rich and strategically important island.

Denmark's prime minister said Thursday she had reached out to President-elect Donald Trump following his remarks about taking control of Greenland.

European leaders reacted to Trump's statement at a press conference on Tuesday that he would not rule out military action to take control of Greenland. He had earlier vowed to slap high tariffs on Denmark if it refused to cede its autonomous territory.

France and Germany have responded with concern to Donald Trump's desire to annex Greenland. Germany's Chancellor Olaf Scholz claims the US President-elect's comments "triggered incomprehension" among European leaders.

European leaders on Wednesday warned Donald Trump against threatening “sovereign borders” after the US President-elect refused to rule out military action to take Greenland. Germany’s Olaf Scholz said Trump’s comments had sparked “notable incomprehension” among EU leaders the chancellor had spoken with.

Borders cannot be changed by force, assessed German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. He added that there is unease in Europe today because of recent statements from the USA. This unease stems from Donald Trump's suggestion that he would like to acquire Greenland.
