President Donald Trump had a "fiery" phone call with Denmark's Prime Minister last week, putting the NATO ally into "crisis mode," the Financial Times reported, citing officials briefed on the matter.
European officials told the FT the call did not go well and that Trump was aggressive and confrontational with his Danish counterpart.
Newsweek reached out to the White House for comment Friday afternoon via email. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen's office said it "does not recognise the interpretation of the conversation given by anonymous sources" and pointed Newsweek to Frederiksen's official press release detailing the phone call.

Heh.
If only they were like real Vikings.
Free the Greenlandians.
...free the Australians, Canadians, and New Zealanders also but that's a different story.
Newsweek. Consider the source, and relax.
Me thinks media is hyping this...just a tad...
The original source was behind the paywall at the Financial Times. It’s a rag too but they all are. There are other Euroweenie sources on this story. The call happened and it was “fiery”.
“FT”, The Financial Times, is is an upmarket, well-spoken Brit version of MSNBC.
Yeah, I know. Find me one legacy media source with any credibility left. Personally, I’d like to stay with the un editorialized new media on X but people still want that gubmint media seal of approval.
You have no idea what the nature of the call was.
The Art of the Deal, baby.
So, IOW, to paraphrase the Prime Minister's office: This Newsweak hit piece on President Trump from unnamed sources is fake news.
Being forthright, honest, open and decisive is “aggressive and confrontational” to certain people.
Damn! You called me on it! No, I was not a participant on the call.
So what? Nearly all that is posted on FR is second hand “news”. There are legacy media reports, such as this. There are also credible reports on the credible new media located on X.
I will continue to post news I receive second hand. I’m glad you will self limit yourself to posting ONLY things you see with your own two eyes.
I don’t believe this at all. Had a phone call. Probably didn’t go well. Only an Idiot or lier will push that Trump will actually invade.
Like Mel Gibson said on FOX yesterday, “Daddy’s home, and he’s taking off his belt!”
“European officials told the FT the call did not go well and that Trump was aggressive and confrontational with his Danish counterpart.”
“European officials” includes the Belgian Assistant Director of Agricultural Policy.
Ally? Hardly. Denmark is more like an unappreciative dependent.
Well if Newsweek said it, it must be true. /s
