What is known about Trumps talks with the Danish Prime MinisterAnonymous sources told reporters that the 45minute conversation took place last week, before Trumps inauguration.However, what is important to understand is that the White House did not officially report on these negotiations.Frederiksen once again reminded the new US president that the island, which is an autonomous territory of Denmark, is not for sale.
However, the prime ministers statement did not stop Donald Trump.According to insiders, the conversation went very badly.The main problem was that the head of the White House was aggressive and confrontational after the comments of the Danish leader.In addition, he ignored her proposal for greater cooperation on military bases and mineral development.
It was terrible Trump was very tough.
It was a cold shower.
It used to be hard to take it seriously.
But now I think its serious and potentially very dangerous, one insider said.
Panic is growing in the European UnioInterestingly, European leaders have long assumed that Trumps statements about his intention to establish control over Greenland for national security reasons were a negotiating ploy.The EU believed that the US president wanted to increase his influence on NATO, Russia and China in this way.
However, it was the tough phone talks with Frederiksen that destroyed these hopes.
The intentions were very clear.
They want it.
The Danes are in a state of crisis right now, another anonymous source said.
Another insider added that the Danes are absolutely terrified by what is happening.As it turned out, the White House chief even threatened specific measures against Denmark, such as targeted tariffs.It is worth noting that the Danish Prime Ministers office stated that it does not accept the interpretation of the conversation provided by anonymous sources.
