In seiner Rede auf der Jahresversammlung des norwegischen Arbeitgeberverbandes NHO griff Støre das Gespräch auf. Er berichtete, Frederiksen habe ihm zum Abschied eindringlich gesagt: „Jetzt wird es ernst, Jonas.“
„Jetzt ist es an der Zeit, mit Dänemark zusammenzustehen“, sagte der Ministerpräsident. Die Worte seiner Amtskollegin wertete er als Warnung, die Lage nicht zu unterschätzen.

French President Emmanuel Macron greeted Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen at the Elysee Palace ahead of the ‘Coalition of the Willing’ summit in Paris. The warm welcome came as European leaders gather to coordinate Ukraine security guarantees and next diplomatic steps. For more details, watch our story and subscribe to our channel, DRM News.
A senior European official said Denmark must lead the effort to coordinate a response, but „the Danes have yet to communicate to their European allies what kind of concrete support they wish to receive,“ the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Statement by President Macron of France, Chancellor Merz of Germany, Prime Minister Meloni of Italy, Prime Minister Tusk of Poland, Prime Minister Sánchez of Spain, Prime Minister Starmer of the United Kingdom and Prime Minister Frederiksen of Denmark on Greenland.
Arctic security remains a key priority for Europe and it is critical for international and
transatlantic security.
NATO has made clear that the Arctic region is a priority and European Allies are stepping up. We and many other Allies have increased our presence, activities and investments, to keep the Arctic safe and to deter adversaries. The Kingdom of Denmark – including Greenland – is part of NATO.
Security in the Arctic must therefore be achieved collectively, in conjunction with NATO allies including the United States, by upholding the principles of the UN Charter, including sovereignty, territorial integrity and the inviolability of borders. These are universal principles, and we will not stop defending them.
The United States is an essential partner in this endeavour, as a NATO ally and through the defence agreement between the Kingdom of Denmark and the United States of 1951.
Greenland belongs to its people. It is for Denmark and Greenland, and them only, to decide on matters concerning Denmark and Greenland.
Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has warned that any bid by the United States to take over Greenland will result in the end of the NATO military alliance, as reverberations from Washington’s military attack on Venezuela and the abduction of its leader are felt across the globe.
Frederiksen made the comments on Monday following US President Donald Trump’s latest calls for the Arctic island to come under direct control of Washington.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen says a US annexation of Greenland, a sovereign part of the Kingdom of Denmark, would mean that ‚everything would be over‘ as parliament‘s Foreign Affairs Committee was summoned to an extraordinary meeting in Copenhagen.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said in a statement on Sunday that it makes „absolutely no sense to talk about the need for the United States to take over Greenland.“
„The U.S. has no right to annex any of the three nations in the Danish kingdom,“ she said, adding: „I would therefore strongly urge the U.S. 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.“

The demonstration followed the sentencing of a woman who was found guilty of inciting violence during an anti-lockdown protest in January. Speakers who addressed the crowd during Saturday’s march expressed solidarity with the woman, who received two years behind bars due to a controversial provision that allows Danish courts to double sentences if the crime is related to the Covid-19 pandemic.
