by · POLITICO

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen hailed the support Denmark and Greenland are getting from European countries over U.S. President Donald Trump's threats to impose new tariffs in his bid to gain control of the Arctic island.

"I am pleased with the consistent messages from the rest of the continent: Europe will not be blackmailed," Frederiksen wrote in a statement on Sunday reported by the BBC and other media.

"The Kingdom of Denmark is receiving great support," she wrote, describing how she has been in "intensive dialogue" with allies including the U.K., France and Germany.
