Looks like it's time for a serious chat! The Danish government has reached out to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump for a phone call after his eyebrow-raising remarks about Greenland. 🌍🗣️ But so far, no response from Trump, according to Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen during a press conference on Thursday night.
Earlier, all party leaders in the Danish Parliament (the Folketing) gathered for a briefing on Denmark's diplomatic efforts. This comes after Trump hinted he wouldn't rule out military measures to gain control over Greenland—a self-governing Danish territory! 😮
PM Frederiksen tried to keep things cool, saying there's no reason to believe Trump would act on his bold statements. Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen chimed in with a bit of wisdom: \"We should take him seriously, but not literally.\" 🤔
Since Trump's victory in November, Denmark has already kicked off informal chats with his incoming administration. Frederiksen is hopeful these talks will continue once Trump officially takes office. Fingers crossed! 🤞
But not everyone in Denmark is chill about the situation. The Danish People's Party is pushing for clearer policies on Greenland's autonomy. Meanwhile, the Red-Green Alliance thinks the government's approach is a bit too soft on the U.S. 😬
Seems like the Greenland saga is heating up! Stay tuned for more updates as this story unfolds. 🔥
