Denmark has vowed to defend “every inch” of its territory after President Donald Trump renewed his threats to take over Greenland at the start of the Nato summit in Ankara on Tuesday.
The US leader has long threatened the semi-autonomous territory that is governed by Denmark, sparking a diplomatic row with Europe and Nato earlier this year.
On Tuesday, he insisted Greenland “should be controlled by the United States, not by Denmark” and threatened to withdraw troops from Europe if his plans were not put into action.
