Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen called business leaders to a meeting on Thursday after U.S. President-elect Donald Trump last week refused to rule out military or economic action to take control of Greenland.

US President-elect Donald Trump did not back down from threats during a conversation with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen. He wants to impose high tariffs if Denmark does not give up Greenland,

Trump has not spoken publicly about the call, choosing instead to repost on social media the results of a 2019 poll that found that 68 percent of Greenlanders supported independence from Denmark.
