The Pentagon is in talks with Denmark for access to three more areas on the Arctic island. Several Greenlanders said they didn’t like the idea.

Members of President Trump’s circle, working in plain sight, have caught the eye of Denmark’s intelligence services for trying to make friends and cut deals on the Danish territory.

In Denmark’s election, it was local issues, not Greenland or foreign policy, that counted. That hurt the prime minister, Mette Frederiksen.

Mette Frederiksen’s party fell far short of a majority, but analysts say she is still in the best position to form a new government.

President Trump’s threats to take Greenland away from Denmark have lifted Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, who appeared the front-runner as polls opened.

Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen is the biggest force this country has seen in decades. The crisis in Greenland has energized her, but are voters itching for change?

The Danes brought blood supplies, explosives and live ammunition to Greenland as part of contingency plans in case President Trump acted on his threats to seize the island.

Mark Rutte, the secretary general of the alliance, told members of the European Parliament that President Trump was “doing a lot of good stuff.”

In the exchange on Sunday, Norway’s leader sought to “de-escalate” the growing conflict over Greenland and Mr. Trump’s latest tariff threat.

Denmark does not want to sell its territory. But for a real estate mogul turned president, the world’s largest island may be irresistible.
