Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has revealed plans to hold discussions with American politicians, including Senator Marco Rubio, concerning Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark. This announcement was made at a conference, highlighting ongoing concerns about U.S. engagement and control over the strategically significant Arctic island, particularly in light of former President Donald Trump's earlier claims of needing to control Greenland for security reasons.

Last year, upon returning to the White House, Trump expressed strong interest in Greenland, which led to controversial discussions about the U.S. potentially purchasing the territory. Although he later backed away from these aggressive assertions, a working group was established involving the U.S., Denmark, and Greenland to tackle security issues relating to the Arctic, although specific details of these discussions remain undisclosed.

In conjunction with diplomatic efforts, NATO has commenced a mission in the Arctic with the involvement of Denmark, which includes deploying F-35 fighter jets. Frederiksen's participation in the Munich conference emphasizes the importance of international discussions regarding Arctic security and the collaboration between NATO allies, as they seek to address the growing geopolitical importance of the region.
