President Trump told Denmark’s leader he wanted to take over Greenland, European officials say. Denmark has asked its E.U. allies not to inflame the situation until Mr. Trump’s intentions are clearer.

There was even a 'horrendous' phone call between Trump and Danish prime minister Mette Frederiksen that left officials in Denmark who'd been wondering how seriously to take Trump's rhetoric 'utterly freaked out' as they realised the US has a 'serious, and potentially very dangerous' interest in acquiring Greenland.
