Denmark's prime minister has told Donald Trump to "stop the threats" about taking over Greenland.
Mette Frederiksen said "it makes absolutely no sense to talk about the need for the United States to take over Greenland", adding: "The US has no right to annex any of the three nations in the Danish kingdom".
Her remarks come after Katie Miller - the wife of one of Trump's aides, Stephen Miller - tweeted a map of Greenland in the colours of the American flag alongside the word "SOON".
Trump has repeatedly raised the possibility of Greenland becoming an annexed part of the US, citing its strategic location and mineral wealth.
In her statement, posted on the Danish government website, Frederiksen said she was addressing the US "very directly".
She said Denmark - "and thus Greenland" - was a Nato member and covered by the alliance's security guarantee. Denmark already had a defence agreement with the US that gave it access to Greenland, she said, and Denmark had upped its investment in security in the Arctic region.
"I would therefore strongly urge the United States to stop the threats against a historically close ally and against another country and another people who have very clearly said that they are not for sale," she said.
Earlier the Danish ambassador to the US responded to the post by Ms Miller - a right-wing podcaster and former aide to Trump during his first term - with a "friendly reminder" that the two countries were allies and saying Denmark expected respect for its territorial integrity.
The exchange comes after the US carried out a major military operation against Venezuela on Saturday, capturing its president Nicolas Maduro and his wife and removing them to New York.

Who?
The US already has a military base in Greenland.

Stop! Or... I’ll say STOP again!
Trump claims US needs Greenland for security, appoints Republican governor to ‘lead the charge’
Threading the needle time. How do we get access to their minerals without pulling off what imperialists did in the past? We weren’t as bad as the others but our history includes Wounded Knee and the Trail of Tears. Are the indigenous up there modern enough?
“Who?”
LOL!
Denmark doesn’t defend Greenland.
WE do.
Denmark couldn’t defend Denmark.
Like I said, I bet Greenland will be annexed soon.
Katie Miller seems to think so too:

Denmark doesn’t defend Denmark!!
I think they’re the european version of canada.
LOL!
The US may need Greenland. If so, they will negotiate with Denmark or Greenlanders depending on how it is handled.
But it will be an acquisition that does not require use of military force by the US.
It took the Nazis, like ten minutes to conquer Denmark.
I think we want to expand...Russia is right there...
Did he say that with his hands on his hips while stamping his foot.
Trump should tell the Danes that their check is in the mail since Denmark just shut down its postal system. It would make great meme material.
To be fair, half of Denmark was already fascist.
Why’s Denmark still ruling Greenland anyway?
Greenland can’t defend itself neither can the EU.if they could they would and they wouldn’t need to call on the U.S. constantly.
