President Donald Trump threatens steep tariffs on European nations unless Denmark sells Greenland to the U.S., citing national defense and security.

Denmark's foreign minister said the closed-door meeting was a "frank but also constructive" discussion. He said a high-level working group would be formed "to explore if we can find a common way forward.

The decade-old clip circulated in 2026 as the Trump administration sought to acquire Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark.

Yesterday, after Greenland’s prime minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, vowed to cast his lot with Denmark over the United States, Trump said that he didn’t “know anything about” Nielsen but that such a choice would be a “big problem for him.”

A high-stakes meeting happened Wednesday at the White House between top U.S. and Danish officials about Greenland's fate.
