After Donald Trump mentioned Greenland after taking action against Venezuela, speculations are being made as to which country is America’s next target. Meanwhile, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said that if America attacks any other NATO country, everything will stop.

Everything including NATO will stop: Danish PM

In an interview with Danish broadcaster DR, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said that if the US uses force against another NATO member country, everything will stop. During the podcast, Frederickson also criticized new comments made by US President Donald Trump and described his words as acceptable pressure on the self-governing region. The US President has said in his recent statement that America needs Greenland.

‘The American President should be taken seriously’

The Danish Prime Minister said, ‘Unfortunately I think the US President should be taken seriously when he says he wants Greenland. Both Denmark and Greenland have repeatedly rejected any idea of ​​Greenland becoming part of the US. She further said that although she could not account for US actions, there was full support from Europe that borders should be respected.

After taking action against Venezuela, Trump has now commented about Greenland. He brought back the idea of ​​acquiring Greenland and described the Arctic region as important for American defense. Since then, European leaders have stood in support of Denmark for its strength. French Foreign Ministry spokesperson Pascal Confaverex, in an interview with local media, expressed solidarity with Denmark and said, ‘The border cannot be changed by force.’

NATO country’s statement after Trump’s threat

Apart from this, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said, ‘Greenland’s future belongs to the Kingdom of Denmark and Greenland itself.’ According to Xinhua news agency, German Foreign Minister Johann Wedfulf said that Greenland, being part of Denmark, would actually fall under NATO’s collective defense responsibilities. On Sunday, Trump said in a telephone interview with The Atlantic that America absolutely needs Greenland.

In response, PM Frederiksen said in a statement on Sunday (January 4, 2026) that America has no right to occupy Greenland. He also asked Washington to stop making threats against a close ally and the people of Greenland. Last month, Trump announced the appointment of Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry as the US special envoy to Greenland. After Trump’s announcement, diplomatic tension between Washington and the Danish region increased again.

Since taking office in January 2025, Trump has repeatedly expressed interest in gaining control of Greenland and has said he would not rule out using military or economic pressure to achieve this goal.

Three Nordic capitals showed drones in the sky on Monday (September 22, 2025), after which these countries issued a security alert. Copenhagen Airport was kept closed for hours due to security reasons. Denmark Prime Minister Mete Frederickson feared that Russia may be behind it, so Moscow immediately opposed it.

According to Danish media, Northern Europe’s largest Copenhagen Airport, Kestroop was closed for several hours after reporting two to three large drones in the region. The route of more than 35 flights was changed after the Denmark Police started a large scale campaign.

Russia refuses to related to drone flights

Meanwhile, Russia has denied that it had any connection with the drone flights, due to which the Copenhagen Airport had to shut down its airspace for hours. While the Prime Minister of Denmark had said that she could not deny Russian involvement.

Kremlin spokesman Dimitri Peskov told reporters in a daily briefing, ‘We hear baseless allegations from there every time. Perhaps people who have taken a serious, responsible stance should not make such baseless allegations again and again.

Serious attack on NATO colleague

According to Danish Media House DR, Denmark Prime Minister Mete Frederickson said that she could not deny the possibility that Russia is behind the major disturbances caused by the drone blowing at Copenhagen Airport. He described it as a serious attack on the important infrastructure of NATO colleague.

Frederickson pointed out a similar drone incident at Oslo Airport in Norway on Monday and recent violations by Russia in Poland, Estonia and Romania airspace. According to a report by Denmark’s media DR, Fredericksson said in Danish language, “It should be seen in the context of every incident happening in Europe, yet we have not been able to reach any conclusion.”
