Raising a flag at our capital cultural centre, the flag of a military superpower that for weeks has been implying military force against our country, is not a joke. It is not funny. It is immensely harmful, she said in a statement. Olsen said Greenlanders, particularly children, were worried and afraid about the current situation. When you amplify those fears for content, clicks or laughs, you are not being bold or creative.

President Donald Trump and NATO temporarily defused a crisis over his attempt to take over Greenland, but details over the U.S. role on the semiautonomous Danish island could reignite tensions. In an interview with the New York Post, Trump said the U.S. will gain sovereignty over parts of Greenland that host American military bases-and take ownership of that land. "Yeah," he told the Post. "We'll have everything we want. We have some interesting talks going on."

"a rupture in the world order."

Its ancient bedrock dates back four billion years or more, metamorphic rocks were transformed by volcanic activity that has concentrated metal ores in southern Greenland, and sedimentary rocks in northern areas are rich in lead and zinc. Almost half the periodic table can be found in a large, underexplored landmass like Greenland with such a complex geological history, says Diogo Rosa, an economic geologist at the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland.

As a writer of political fiction for many years, including four seasons of my TV series Borgen, I find myself in the strangest of landscapes watching Donald Trump desperately wanting Greenland like a spoilt child who has never heard the word no. We dedicated an episode to Greenland in the first season in 2010 and then it became the main setting for the fourth season in 2022.

U.S. President Donald Trump, with his lust for Greenland and hectoring of Europe, thinks the world is at his mercy,and thatthe U.S. is invincible. He's right on the first point. But he discovered this week that he's wrong about the second one. In Davos at the World Economic Forum, Trump climbed down on his Greenland threats after his actions caused chaos in the markets.

President Donald Trump's ambition to take over Greenland may be on ice for now, but supporters of the Danish territory won't soon forget the affair. In particular, Jesper Tønnesen, the Copenhagen shop owner whose MAGA parody hat went viral, told Business Insider he'll continue to raise support for Greenland's right to self-determination. "You don't feel that you have any promises, because it can change again," he said of Trump's proposed deal with Denmark.

It took just one week for Trump to create-and then resolve-the Greenland crisis. Over the course of a week in January, he followed the strategy laid out in his book almost line by line. Trump's signature negotiation tactics can be distilled into 5 key rules. They are: Rule 1: Aim high Rule 2: the BATNA Rule 3: Use leverage Rule 4: Let others find the middle Rule 5: Play to fantasies

Any threat to acquire European territory by force would be unacceptable,

"We fought for Denmark. (...) We were fighting to save it. (...) All the United States is asking for is a place called Greenland, where we had already been a trustee, but respectfully returned it to Denmark not long after we defeated the Germans, the Japanese, the Italians, and others in World War II. (...) We had it, and we gave it back to them."
