PARIS (AFP) — Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen on Tuesday said she had received support from European leaders as she sought backing to counter U.S. President Donald Trump's threats to take over Greenland.

Frederiksen, who met on Tuesday with European leaders including German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, French President Emmanuel Macron and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, said she had received 'a great deal of support' from Europe following Donald Trump's threats to gain control of Greenland.

The Danish PM's tour of three capitals betrayed the nervousness felt in Denmark over Trump's repeated comments.

Nordic leaders met on the weekend and reiterated they are united on defence issues, Denmark's prime minister has said, as her country reels from US President Donald Trump's attempts to take over Greenland.

Denmark is doing everything possible to dissuade Trump from wanting to take control of Greenland. The country's Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen, announced that she has received support from "European leaders.

President Trump reportedly held a “fiery” call with Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen over the president’s insistence that U.S. control of Greenland is necessary for American national security.
