Frederiksen is said to have repeated that Greenland is not for sale, but Trump in turn is said to have refused to listen, according to sources.
Previously, it has been difficult to take it seriously, but now I think it's serious and potentially very dangerous. It was terrible, says a person about the 45-minute long conversation between the two parties, which mainly concerned the Greenland situation.
Trump, as the newly elected president, has once again repeated that he wants to buy Greenland from Denmark, a wish that was expressed by Trump already during his first presidential term. Now Trump is also said to have raised the possibility of imposing various tariffs on Denmark and Danish companies if they do not comply with the demands from the Danish side.
The intention was very clear. They want it (Greenland) and the Danes are now in a crisis situation, says a source.
Frederiksen is also said to have had talks with large Danish companies such as Carlsberg and Novo Nordisk to discuss potential consequences of tariffs from Trump's side.
The Prime Minister's staff simultaneously tells Financial Times that they "do not recognize the descriptions of the phone call".
