In what could prove to be a pivotal election year for the Republicans, with the midterms holding much influence, President Donald Trump arguably needs the support of his own party now more than ever.

The worry for many in Copenhagen, however, is that Trump will continue to publicly insist on gaining full control over Greenland. “Fundamentally, the US seems to want something that Denmark and Greenland are unwilling to give,” said Jon Rahbek-Clemmensen, head of the Centre for Arctic Security Studies at the Royal Danish Defence College.

President Donald Trump has repeatedly said he wants to take Greenland, which has received extra weight after the capture of Maduro in Venezuela. Why?

Ariz., introduced new legislation to block President Donald Trump from invading Greenland after threats of military action.

"We’re not going to take over another country that's our ally," Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) said of President Trump's threats against Greenland.

A German government source told the Reuters news agency that Berlin was 'closely working together' with other allies.
