COPENHAGEN, Jan ⁠5 (Reuters) - ⁠Denmark's ‍Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said on ‍Monday that she believes U.S. ​President Donald Trump is serious ​about wanting to take over Greenland, and that both Denmark and ​Greenland have clearly rejected his ambition.

"Unfortunately, I ​think the American president should be taken ‌seriously when he says he wants Greenland," Frederiksen ​told public broadcaster ⁠DR.

"I have made it very clear ‌where the Kingdom of Denmark stands, and Greenland has ‌repeatedly said that it does ‌not want to be part of the United States," she added.

"If ‍the United States attacks another NATO ⁠country, everything stops," Frederiksen said.
