After the new US President Donald Trump's statement about taking over the Danish territory of Greenland, the Copenhagen government has had to seek support among other allies.

The language used is however cautious in connection with Frederiksen's visit to Berlin, Paris, and Brussels on Tuesday.

We also naturally discussed the Kingdom of Denmark and the discussions that are now taking place, she said during a conversation with President Emmanuel Macron in France, referring to the Greenland issue.

On the whole, there is very strong support for Denmark in this situation.

A few hours earlier, she had a conversation with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Berlin, and then called for greater unity.

We see Russian hybrid attacks in Europe and the Baltic Sea. We need a stronger and more resolute Europe.

Scholz only hinted at Greenland when he emphasized that borders cannot be changed by force. A message that can be directed both east and west, but he switched from German to English when he added:

To whom it may concern.

After Berlin and Paris, Frederiksen would also meet NATO chief Mark Rutte in Brussels on Wednesday.
